State comparison rankings

Here is a copy of the form we discussed at today's meeting. The left columns identify the athlete, gender, event, rank, and mark. Columns without anything the "Athlete/Relay" column reflect that we have no athletes in the top 50 in that event. The 4 columns on the right identify the 18th ranked runner in the state from that particular year, symbolizing the last athlete that qualified to participate in the state competition in that event. This data gives us a very good idea of what marks you must hit before the end of the season. For younger, JV athletes this chart can give you an idea of what marks you'll eventually want to as you progress in this sport.

Again, this information is not secret. It's not even hard to find. Just go to MaxPreps to check out girls and boys rankings as they are updated throughout the season (bookmark these links for easy future navigation).
