ORDER GAME PHOTOS I must admit, when it comes to athletics, projecting how things might go is just as exciting for me as breaking down the actual results. Predictive metrics are being used in just about every sport imaginable. It's used in MaxPreps' ratings system, which is used by the Idaho High School Activities Association to seed teams at various state tournaments. It's used in college and professional sports front offices. And it's used here at IdahoSports.com during our Bracketology series (used for both football and basketball this year.) I've decided to bring the projections to the spring sports landscape as well, specifically in track and field. It's fun to predict how team races might go in all five of Idaho's classifications. Using the current leaderboards in every event, we can project how many points can be scored. The top eight placers in each event at the state meet receive points: 1st Place receives 10 points 2nd Place receives 8 points 3rd Place receives 6 points 4th Place receives 5 points 5th Place receives 4 points 6th Place receives 3 points 7th Place receives 2 points 8th Place receives 1 point So here's how the state fields might look. These will be updated every Thursday. GIRLS CLASS 5A CLASS 4A CLASS 3A CLASS 2A CLASS 1A BOYS CLASS 5A CLASS 4A CLASS 3A CLASS 2A CLASS 1A
