Tuesday Top 10 : Toughest District To Advance

Apr 30, 2013

Class 1 and 2 kick off the state series with districts this upcoming weekend. Usually around this time of year the conversation turns to qualifying standards and discussions of what the toughest district battles will be. By using our Virtual Meet feature I thought I would take a crack at 10 events that look to be really tough to advance. While many districts have very close battles this list reflects where many of the top athletes in the state reside in the same district.

Subscribers can run their own virtual meet by finding your district meet on the calendar and clicking on the Virtual Meet (this year) link.

The numbers after the 5th person on each list reflects their current ranking as of 4/29 4:00pm in the (state) & (class)
