How high do you have to aim to make the state field? This article will help answer that question.
Today, we take a look at qualifying for state in 1A boys. It's impossible to say exactly what it will take this year, but we can see here what it took to get to state in 2013 and 2014. The minimum state-qualifying mark for each event in 2013 is given in black. The minimum state-qualifying mark for each event in 2014 is given in blue. The number in parentheses is the number of scratches from the actual top nine (or 10, or 12 depending on the event).
