Incredible State Qualifying Streak

[CoachSpongeBob]

The MPSSAA has every full state meet result dating back to 1980, before that there isn't much there. I have for the last few years been getting all of these state meet results typed up and put online.

One thing I started a couple years ago was I started keeping track of every team that qualified for states (in a spreadsheet). I found an interesting stat involving the Westminster Boys.

The Westminster boys are one of three teams (Middletown Boys and Atholton Boys being the other two teams) to qualify for states each of the last 31 years.

In case anybody was interested, here is a complete list of when each team qualified for states over the last 31 years:

Neither the Atholton Boys or Middletown boys qualified for states, while Westminster did.

That means Westminster is the only boys team in the state to qualify for states for 32+ straight years!!

Congrats to the Westminster program!

I updated the above tables to reflect the 2011 state meet results.
