RANKTEAMLAST RESULTCOMMENTS
1
Dominated the 5A scene with a record-low 22 points and swept top 4 spots; top 5 averaged 16:12
2
Surprised everyone (well, me at least) and won a very interesting and close 6A team race, by being the only 6A team to put 3 in the medals (8-9-11) AND one in the top-30 (26th)
3
Had a decent pack behind Skinner in 4th and three more in the top 30 - but not enough to overcome Olathe North (12 points behind)
4
Was close to Olathe North (and ahead of Olathe East) through three runners, by going 12-13-15, but #4 and #5 were a bit too far back and they placed 10 points behind Olathe East
5
Had four in the top 26 and two in the top ten to outscore Bishop Carroll for 5A runner-up; only 5A team besides Aquinas with top 5 average of under 17:00 (16:54)
6
Missed out on a third-consecutive podium finish by only six points; however, had two medalists (2-19) as well as another top 25 to propel them up near the top
7
Not the best day for SMN at the State meet, though the Akalus' 1st and 7th place finishes kept them close; ended five points behind Manhattan, and they still improved upon their 2014 finish by 4 spots
8
Closed out the top half of the 6A field and was "only" 39 points behind O. North (the champ) and 17 behind the last podium spot
9
Like BVSW, had 4 in the top 26 of the 5A meet, but their top two were well behind BVSW's and they had to settle for 3rd
10
Yet another 5A team with 4 in the top 30; they also had an impressive 27-second 1-5 spread, but top runner was only 18th
11
Had their best race of the year to propel them back to near where they were ranked pre-season. Had four top 30 and beat both BC and MV through 4, but #5 was too far back
12
Finished well behind the front six but did have two medalists in Wiederholt and Donahue (10-17)
13
Took the 4A race rather easily with 5 in the top 30 and a 38 second 1-5 spread and 17:05 1-5 average
14
Not quite strong enough to take a podium or top-5 finish; but did have two medalists (12th/16th)
15
Snagged two medals (6 and 20) and another top-30 for a solid top three
16
Had one of their best races of the year and was able to end in the rankings; had two medalists (5 and 18)
17
Not the best day by Dodge City, and it is tough when a number of other teams have a good day; still had a 17:23 1-5 avg and 49 second spread, just too far back to have an effect in the 6A race
18
After nearly defeating Baldwin at regionals, followed it up with a solid runner-up finish at the 4A meet, though they only had two medalists (9th and 11th)
19
Solid race after getting defeated by Leavenworth at regionals; had an 11th-place medalist
20
Did probably about what they could with all of the other top 6A teams present; top 5 averaged 17:29 and had a 39 second spread
21
Wasn't able to qualify out of the loaded Olathe North regional (qualifying teams took 1st, 2nd, and 7th at 6A State); solid pack was too far back to qualify
22
Last at State doesn't look very good, and though they didn't have their best day, they did take a medal home (Anima - 14th)
23
Missed qualifying for the 6A meet by only one point to Wichita North
24
Also a "victim" to the deep Olathe North regional, where they had an impressive 17 second spread and 16:59 avg for the top 5
25
Put two in the top-30 at the 5A meet (Flores 9th) but not able to repeat their defeat of Seaman at regionals
