Wild Card Update - Ward a lock, Snow still in the hunt!

Here's the latest on the Wild Card Chase. Remember, the top 12 finishers (not counting the kids that finished top 3 in their division) advance as wild cards to the All-State Meet. If there's a tie - like in high jump - they take all the kids that are tied.

High Jump - Madison Ward is in. Only one wild card has cleared 5'2, so 5'0 looks to be a lock to be the Wild Card Height. Great job Madison!

600 - Right now, Sydney has the 8th best wild card time, behind four kids from Div. 1 and three from Div. 4. Only Division 2 is left.

The simplest way to put it is we're watching the 8th place finish from Division 2, since that would be the fifth "wild card" spot. If Sydney's time beats the 8th place Div. 2 kid, she's going to All-States. Based on seeds and how the other Divisions performed relative to expectations, it looks possible.
