A seven-foot high jump clearance by Colt Sessions was the 4A standard for the decade.
So, here we are. We've reached the 4A Boys decade meet. You could envision this one going a lot of different ways. Mountain View, Longmont, and Palmer Ridge each had some powerful teams during the decade. Canon City, Cheyenne Mountain, Niwot, Pueblo East, and Silver Creek each had more than their share of top-flight athletes.
So, who walks away with the win?
To answer that question, you should know that I took only in-state marks from the CHSAA-sanctioned seasons of the 10 years from 2010 through 2019. I used only wind-legal marks where wind readings were relevant. Scoring was eight deep with the 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 rubric.
Teams included were all teams currently listed as 4A in the CHSAA classification system.

Last time, I had Canon City as the winner, but had a Palmer Ridge athlete incorrectly identified as a Niwot athlete. I've gone back and made the fix. Also, I have fully corrected the team scoring. So, now we have Palmer Ridge edging Canon City by a single point, with the top four teams all within six points. A very close race!
