How high do you have to aim to make the state field? This article will help answer that question.
For most of Colorado, it's been a snowy, sluggish start to the outdoor season. So, perhaps there's a little extra time on hand to think about what it will take to make it to state this year. If that's the case for you, this will help you along--a listing of the minimum marks that advanced to state in 2013 and 2014.
The minimum marks for 2013 are in black. The minimum marks for 2014 are in blue. The number of scratches from the actual top 18 for 2014 are in parentheses.
