Crunching Numbers: The Data For The Upcoming Class 5 State Meet

    Every year coaches are crunching the numbers to see where they might fit into the grand scheme of things at the state championship. Our local track and field community have helped clear up those numbers for all of us today. Obviously, you never know what could happen as the championships provide drama unlike what is seen all year long. This year should include its own fireworks. I predict a number of state records. The records that I believe are under the greatest threat include the boys 4x100, 4x200, and 3200-meter run. On the girl's side, I believe the overall point total and girls 100 and 200-meter dash could be crushed. Enclosed below is all the stats a track and field head could ever want. A special thanks goes out to Hays and Jtsimmons.
