What schools have consistently had the best dual teams of the past 5 and 10 years?

We tallied up where teams finished at the state dual tournament for the past 10 years and assigned them points based on their finish.
1st Place- 16 Points
2nd Place- 12 Points
3rd Place- 9 Points
4th Place- 7 Points
5th Place- 5 Points
6th Place- 3 Points
7th Place- 2 Points
8th Place- 1 Point
*** In the years before state duals wrestled back for 5th-8th place we awarded 3 points for teams that lost first round and were done***

All teams are listed in the class they are currently in even if they placed in another class in previous years

  1. Anyway you could spread this over 15 or 20 years? Just curious to see what it look like! Thanks for doing this – really a cool conversation starter!

  2. I like looking at these things also can you add up how all the districts did after state.

  3. The only tough thing about this is teams that have crossed over like Clarion and Mediapolis. Otherwise great data.

  4. Great work guys. Please do this again next yr. And then compare changes against this year. And will you do the same for indidual team. If not too complicated math.
