All StanCo Boys' Team

If the girls' list was difficult to determine, the boys' list was ten times harder. There was a lot of jockeying over the course of the year. There were at least 15 names in play (in my mind) to make the cut. In the end it was difficult to minimize the finishing order in the final two meets. After all aren't those the meets that the whole season was leading up to? Well that was a key factor in my thought process. As with the girls' list, I am sure this will lead to some agreement and some disagreement and I totally welcome your comments.
