The 4x8 was crazy this weekend with all of the following times dropped in one weekend! These marks don't include State College's A team, an all out effort from Seneca Valley, Henderson's full A team, Cedar Crest's all out effort, O'Hara's A team and probably more that I haven't thought of.

A lot of question maks as to who runs their "A" team and who saves their studs for individual glory. Let's say that all of the studs-Wiseman, Logue and Francis-feel that they can get through Districts on the double pretty easily. So, they run the 4 x 8 to get their team to the finals or to States. Most of the top teams stay pretty stacked.
3 teams and the next 3 fastest advance to the finals. Heat 1 looks the most dangerous with Henderson, Spring Ford and Upper Darby sitting with pretty slow times relative to their talent.
