This is true, although I would note that South (and North) had multiple people missing due to a math competition.

hmmt?

22. Pembroke Hill (MO)
23. Chattahoochee (GA)
24. Madison West (WI)
25. Bothell (WA)

This list is actually very close to my current personal predictions with almost all teams being within 3 places of what I expect with only a few exceptions.

First, I think TJHSST is a little too high. I agree that they look much stronger than last year but I don’t see them placing higher than around 17th. It is worth noting that they were beaten by Ward Melville at Cornell, albeit by a relatively small margin.

After reviewing Wisconsin results and comparing top scores to previous years, I think Madison West has a good chance to crack the top 20 this year. I think I also initially placed NCSSM a little too high, mostly due to a lack of knowledge about Enloe’s Boomilever placement.

I think WWPS is probably the hardest team to predict this year. I originally placed them at 6th but could easily see them end up closer to 13th where you put them. The main problem is that the only tournament where they had all their team members and stacked was NJ States, so we really don’t know how a stacked WWPS would compare to other teams. I think that South has the same or similar potential as North. However, people lack confidence in them because they don’t have any unexpectedly strong invitational results to back up their strength like North getting 3rd at SOUP without being fully stacked.

Not predicting Troy 1st, what a legend.

what makes you think they've fallen so far, their builds look very strong compared to other Troy teams

This is a tough one for me because I'm a bit out of the loop compared to what I used to know about teams, but I think most of the top 10 will fall +/- 2 or 3 places within those. I still think Troy will win and it looks to me like Solon is right up there with them. Mason looks weaker than the previous two years. Acton is looking very strong this year. I dont know exactly what has happened to Mira Loma and Harriton since I was a competitor, but this is what the current results that we have are indicating. This is Boca Raton's strongest year yet, and I think this will be the year they break top 10.
