Is it me or did it used to feel like NJ used to get more National champs and AA in the past… still high in the qualifiers count but the other states aren’t too far off.. coulda sworn there was a period where NJ was getting multiple national champs every year or at least more then now..

Thanks for the additions and subtraction I felt NJ champs were more than I had, but it was a quick look for me. And I didnt go back as I listed Stanich but was scratching my head as I listed him. He is from my area and I didnt remember him winning but had no time to verify.
