Prairie boys, Solon girls stay on top in Gazette area track and field Super 10

Cedar Rapids Prairie’s boys and Solon’s girls maintain their hold on the area track and field Super 10, as of Tuesday, April 13.

We started this in 2018. To refresh: It's a purely mathematical system, and here's how it works: Using Varsity Bound, we score the top 16 area competitors in each event, using the scoring that high school swimming invitationals score (20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for individual events, double for relays). A school can score two individuals in an event, and one relay. This rewards teams both for depth and for individual stars.
