ksbevo,

Carroll looks extremely tough for next year. I would not be surprised to see them rated somewhere in the top 15 nationally by the end of the year. To add to your list here is some information on how these returning state qualifiers placed this year. I am going to piggyback by copying your information:

State Qualifiers -Returning SQ

Carroll 4 Seniors , 2 Juniors, and 2 Sophmores.
3-1st places, 1-2nd place, 1-3rd place

STA 2 Seniors,2 juniors, and 2 Sophs..
1-2nd place, 2-5th place

Hutch 3 Seniors, 2 Sophs.
1-1st place, 1-2nd place, 1-3rd place

Ark City 5 Srs. 1 Soph
1-1st, 2-2nd place, 1-4th place

Emporia 6 Jrs , 2 So. , 1 Sr.
1-3rd, 2-4th place, 1-6th place

Gardner 2 Sr ,2 Jr , 2 So.
2-1st

Kapaun 4 Sr. , 1 Jr ,1 So.
2-5th places

Langsing 3 Sr , 2 Jrs, 1 So
2-2nd places, 1-4th

I looked at some other teams that you did not list but I think these teams will also do well next year. I saw that they had these placers coming back:

Liberal-1-1st, 1-5th, 1-6th

Valley Center 3-3rds, 1-6th

Winfield-1-1st and 1-4th

I know I probably missed some and hopefully I compiled it correctly.
