Last spring, Yuma's Michael Howell was chasing the leaders in the 2A 400. It might be a different story this spring. Photo by Paul Jaeger.
Coach Mark Roberts probably hates it when I get a hankering to write about 2A. It isn't easy being in the limelight as much as Lyons has been there of late. But then, it also isn't easy being as good as Lyons has been of late.
So, naturally, any discussion of 2A track and field prospects must spend some time talking about Lyons. Yet, there are other teams to talk about as well.
We'll begin as we did with 4A boys, by taking a look at scoring the rankings of last year's returning individual athletes from 2A:
2012 CO HS M Outdoor Track Team Scores (Returners Only)
Calculated as of December 14, 2012
These rankings were calculated by scoring the rankings as a meet. We took the individual rankings and scored them as a normal meet: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Athletes whose graduation years are unknown were left out of the list.
