Great finish to a great year! We had 10 state qualifiers, the most since 2006. We also finished just shy of our goal to be in the top 10, finishing 11th, highest finish since 2006. We had 2 state placers, Hunter Swalberg and Edson Romero both finishing 5th. We are also getting 7/10 qualifiers returning next year!
