Three, Four To State? MSHSAA District Plus Qualifiers So Far

Kyle Deeken

Every year, teams with significant talent and/or depth in one or several events challenge to qualify a third (or more) athlete to the MSHSAA District meet. In order to do so, they must have all athletes meet the standard set forth each season. Of course, all of the athletes must still qualify the traditional way: finishing in the top four in the district and sectional meet. Maybe a time standard qualifying system is on the way soon? After all, many of these events have 20-30 athletes who have already met the standard before May. 

Here are some teams who have qualified more than 2 entries to the district meet so far based on MSHSAA standards, as of 4/25.
