You can now see the all-time team podium finishes for girls cross country here in Colorado. The boys records on that score go back a little further and, for many years, all we have are the first-place finishers. Eventually, I hope to be able to flesh that out all the way through third-place finishers. That, however, will take more time and effort (and possibly some help from those of you reading this article and realizing you have access to some of that information).
In any case, here is what I currently have for all-time team podium finishes for boys here in Colorado (brace yourself to see a lot of the same school names over and over and over again):
