Jiminy Cricket WPIAL Rankings

Hi all,

With the TSTCA meet yesterday, it seemed fitting to post Jiminy Cricket's latest edition of the WPIAL rankings. Note that these are from last week, and don't reflect any of the action that went down yesterday. As always, I'll be throwing up a recap of all the league meet action that went down this week either tonight or tomorrow. I will throw in my personal anecdote on the rankings and TSTCA meet though. Anderson is very good, and deserves credit for his performance. My hunch though, is Kinne was tempo'ing. I could be wrong. I could be very wrong, and Anderson could now be the man that stops NA from going 1-2 at states. While I think he has a very legitimate shot at beating McGoey, I don't know how confident I am that his win yesterday was genuine. I don't mean that to discredit his success, but rather, I know Kinne has been racing semi-often (while he's rested some weeks, he's raced without his team, see Paul Short), and I'm sure the priority for NA was the team win yesterday. But watch, I could be very wrong, and the individual race for AAA could be shaping up to be very, very thrilling.
