National Predictions

[Bogoradwee]

I'm thinking nats is going to see Troy and Grand Haven representing MI this year.

Definitely Centerville. Solon and Mentor are up for grabs...

Mentor has no chance, they only were able to go last year because the Solon It's About Time team was stuck in an elevator.

ROFLMAO! wow that sucks.

I agree it will be Centerville and Solan from Ohio, but find it funny that a team that was 7th at Nationals last year would not have a chance at making it again this year. Just goes to show how strong of a state Ohio is.

It's not clear how predictive this is, but at the Athens Area Invitational (in PA, but open to teams from any state- it's mostly NY and PA teams, though) this weekend, the top four teams- all previous national teams- were:
1. F-M
2. Ward Melville
3. Harriton
4. Columbia

When did Columbia go to Nationals? According to the wiki, if they did it was a long time ago. I think they're a serious contender this year though.

I find that quotation very, very ironic.

[OHIOSO]

are there any big invitationals coming up in PN, NY, or MI?? If there is, do you think its too late to sign up for them?

I'm sorry, I misspoke (mistyped? haha). You're right, Columbia has not been to Nationals (at least, not on recent record), but they took third place in New York last year by only 19 points, and do indeed seem to be a strong contender this year.

Well...from NJ the only name known from B Div. is West Windsor Plainsborough Community MIddle School.
Churchill and Montgomery are always, if by some miracle it happens, a possibility.

For C Div. Both of the West Windsor Schools are possibilities.
Again, if by some miracle it happens, Princeton and Montgomery are also (slim) possibilities.

But I agree that it's a bit too early in the season to tell who's going to Nats and who isn't.

For C Div, Princeton might just have a chance, seeing the results from Regionals.
