Much has been made of the difficulty of winning the distance triple. Isaac Green did one better and added a leg on a first-place 4x800 relay to the mix.

I hope to forestall a lot of questions here by letting you folks know a few things about the formula I'm using here to determine the all-state team. State places in individual events up to place 5 count for consideration, first or second-place relays count for consideration, and a season-best mark for the classification without a state championship counts for consideration. All these contribute to a point total, and the top 20 point totals become the all-state team. Ties may be broken by additional state places beyond 5th.
