If you haven't looked closely already you should take a look at Avery Aren's winning time on a fairly difficult course at Skyview Lake in Norfolk.

I will back track just a bit on the original post. C-2, D-1, D-2 could be combined into two classes to improve on the overall competitiveness of each class. It would help to remedy subdistrict champions that barely have a winning record or in some cases below 50% winning percentage.
I'm sure this will raise the ire of numerous people. Maybe it's time to consolidate the 4 lower classes in basketball and volleyball into just 3 classes. Just a thought.
The number of schools in each class and enrollment restrictions are always going to be debatable but, in my opinion, the one thing that needs fixed is a 9-game regular season schedule for everyone and a maximum of 16 teams to the playoff rounds.
It appears that Carter Nelson only competed in two events. Is there a reason for that? He is talented enough he could have qualified in at least 3 other events.
HIGHPLAINS COACH: You are totally missing the point. No one is ignoring the fact that a team this year, this sport or any other year or sport that is/was winless isn't very talented. (I think they know that) The point was there is no need to set here or anywhere else and make light of the fact...
I've been a coach for over 40 years and I've been on both sides of the spectrum. It has absolutely nothing to do with "hurt feelings". Just no reason to "kick a dog when it's down".
Don't want to ruffle any feathers but I have to share my thoughts. I understand the purpose of recognizing the undefeated teams. I do not understand the purpose or the logic behind listing the winless teams.
