Which were the best states at FLO? 

New Jersey Boys 
and California Girls 
win FLO "team" titles

by John Dye

If you count each state as a team, you can score the meet by state and declare an unofficial team championship.  DyeStat did this with scoring to 8th place (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1).  

The winners:  New Jersey boys and California girls. 

Boys - New Jersey rang up 113.5 points, followed by the expected powers: Texas 83, New York 77, Virginia 68.5, California 67, Florida 56, Michigan 47, and Pennsylvania 46.  New Jersey scored well across the board except in distance events and got first place finishes from Paul Klemic in HJ and Camden in the  4x400 relay (Lenape 2nd).   Boys scoring by state

Girls - California 84 nosed out New York and Ohio, who tied for second with 82 points, in a race that was closer than it should have been.  California might have doubled its point score if its non-entrants were present:  Berkeley, Long Beach Wilson, San Lorenzo Valley, Lashinda Demus, Alejandra Barrientos, Monique Henderson, Angel Perkins, and Laura Chen.  This group would have been favorites or co-favorites in the 200, 400, Mile, 400H, 4 Mile relay, SMR, and DMR -- events in which California only scored five points.  Henderson and Perkins are ranked 1-2 in the country in both the 400 and 200.  
Girls Scoring by State

The race walk was not scored, because it is not widely competed in HS meets.  Virtually all the points would have gone to Maine and New York.  Hammer was included, because more states are represented, and it did not influence the team standings.  

At least one point was scored by 37 states in boys events, and 28 in girls.
