If nothing else, the virtual meets are fun!  They give us a look at what to look for in given events and weigh the competition.  Event-by-event it picks the top eight athletes and relay teams based on season best performances and then crowns a "virtual state champ" that has a pretty good record of choosing the actual champions.  Here are the ones for this weekend's state championships...
