I guess I'll start up the conversation:
1. Daniel Wright
2. Solon
3. Beckendorff
4. Kennedy (

5. Longfellow
6. Marie Murphy
7. Meads Mill
8. WW-P Community
9. Springhouse
10. Hamilton
11. Piedmont
12. Hamilton
13. Shady Side
14. Baker
15. Kraemer
16. Murphy (hype!)
17. Tower Heights
18. Ladue
19. Dodgen
20. Eagle Hill
Dodgen's dying this year; I don't think they'll be able to place in the top 25 even. Our coach is close with Dodgen and we even competed in the unofficial Dodgen online invitational (and Highlands would've beaten them by a considerable margin if we ran build events. We took lasts for those while Dodgen put actual scores. We got 2nd place unstacked.

)
Also, Beckendorff is considerably strong this year. Look at Centerville. I think they'll place ahead of Solon, and maybe even Daniel Wright (since they lost ALL their eighth graders)
2 Hamiltons?
Community should be higher. They're really grinding this year compared to Murphy or Longfellow.
