Have you ever wondered how the size of your state meet stacks up against the size of the state meets in other states? Here's a quick answer to that question for the 2012 cross country season.
UPDATED 2015 VERSION OF THIS STATE-BY-STATE LIST
The table below shows how many complete teams competed in each of the various state meets around the nation. We'll update this article when California has finished their state meet.
A few notes are in order here. One, North Dakota adds ghost runners to incomplete teams to create team scores for every team represented by even one runner at the state meet. So, when you reach North Dakota, the number in parentheses in the number of teams getting scores in the state meet, while the first number is simply the number of teams with five or more scoring runners in the state meet. Two, for those unfamiliar with the abbreviation, TAPPS = Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools.
Most of these meets have results posted on the various MileSplit state sites. Simply go to the state meet page and find the results linked on the front page if you'd like to look further at the results for any of the various state meets.
