Should be a competitive weekend at Drake.
Here one guy's picks.

100M-
Erin Hawkins DM Roosevelt
Ellie Herzberg and Hawkins' teammate Agnes Sayeh will push her but Hawkins is class of good sprinter group.

800M-
Lydia Saggau from WDValley has top time
Mahnee Watts from Bett could be sleeper pick

1500M-
Rebekah Topham freshman from Griswold is a freak and is the odds on favorite to sweep 1500 & 3000. Her times are good enough to win both.

3000M-
Topham will be pushed by Anna Peer from Bettendorf in this one. A great re-match from March race in which Topham won by 1 second. Thrilling finish?

100MH-
Destani Welch DM Roosevelt, Mary Young Urbandale and Maddie Rouw from Waukee should battle this one out.

400MH-
Anne Leners from Pleasant Valley
Jenny Roberts, Ankeny and Brooke Foreman CR Wash

4x100M Relay
This is where is gets very good.
DM Roosevelt should defend their title from last year. Assumption, runners up last year returns strong lineup and ICWest & Dowling should contend as well.

4x200M Relay
Roosevelt is again team to beat but Assumption will be right with them. As will Urbandale.

4x400M Relay-
Assumption is defending champ here and have best time to date but can they hold off Linn Mar and Roosevelt? Assumption has very few runners so which events are they keying on. Can they juggle their lineup in the five relays?

4x800M Relay-
WDM Dowling has best time here with Indianola right behind them.

4x100M H
Chariton and Waukee will be out front.

800M SMR-
Roosevelt has the horses and should take this one as well. Will Assumption have "A" team here?

Shot Put-
Alexa Hunt from Roosevelt is easy pick here

Discus-
Katelynn Weimerskirch from Wahlert

Long Jump-
Allanah McCorkle from Davenport Central

High Jump-
Alexis Conaway MOC

Good Luck to all! Stay healthy!
 
I would guess that Chariton's time on Quikstats of 62.29 for the SH is a typo. They are not listed for any event on the official Start List.
 
Questions--Is the Topham girl really a hurdler? Or just talented enough to do pretty much any event? Is there a limit to the # of events an athlete can participate in at Drake? Regardless--she is an impressive runner to say the least and I wouldn't bet against her in any of the races she is in.
