I received 100% of the dual meet scores last week thanks to all of the coaches who mailed them in. Remember to email results to webmaster@mocorunning.com.

Division I

The Walter Johnson boys surprised me with a win over Churchill last week. I think they should be good enough to beat the rest of the teams in the division, or at least not have much truoble until they face Sherwood and Georgetown Prep in two weeks.

Division II

Okay, this one may bite me in the butt, but I'm picking the Wootton girls to take down the Northwest girls. Wootton has some good athletes and they have something to prove. Northwest did not have Britt Eckerstrom or Olivia Ekpone at the Cougar Relays last weekend while Wootton finished in the top three in just about every event. They are looking sharp for this point in the season.

Whitman and Blair is another tough girls matchup to pick. Blair has the advantage in the sprints while Whitman is strong in the distance events. The two teams seem pretty evenly matched in the field events. Both teams are deeper than Watkins Mill, but the young teams from Whitman and Blair are going to make things interesting.

Division III

Clarksburg should continue to roll against Einstein and Rockville. Two of my five incorrect predictions last week came from under-estimating Rockville, but I haven't seen them yet so I'm not sure who their point scorers are yet. They probably can't hang with Clarksburg, but Einstein will be a good matchup for their boys and girls. The team with the most athletes will probably win.

I'm starting to really like the RM boys, especially after the Cougar Relays. RM is covering all of the events well and I think they can take down Springbrook. The RM girls proved me wrong against Einstein, but I think Springbrook will be tougher test for them. Neither team is too strong, but they have numbers.

Division IV

The Damascus boys got past Paint Branch easier than I thought last week and they shouldn't have any more trouble with Quince Orchard than they did with Paint Branch. Their girls should also be able to take down QO with their well-rounded team.

Gaithersburg hosts Paint Branch and Poolesville this week in what should be one of the best girls dual meets of the season. Paint Branch was strong against Damascus last week and has to be considered the favorites to win both meets, although I think Gaithersburg can steal some sprinting points from them. Poolesville is the darkhorse in this matchup but they have the talent to compete and could steal a win on a good day.
