The KSHSAA History for Track and field only goes back to 2000. Liberal won 9 T & F championships in that 10 year period.
Liberal sports history in the sports I looked at shows only 5 state championship in those "field sports".
If I had included other sports I think the relatively listing and ranking would basically be unchanged. The same schools who won in the sports I looked at, also won multiple championships in the sports not included in the spread sheet.

They just went out and beat everyone instead of whining about the private schools. Whiners = losers! However I do know that they lost two soccer and one football state finals against private schools and I believe KMC was the state champ in track a few of the years they were runner ups.. It cracks me up how a perrennial loser like DeSoto would decide to author a proposal to penalize privately funded schools when they are inept in basically every sport.
Losers find excuses, winners find solutions.
FYI...In 1972 Liberal lost to Bishop Miege in the state final football game 2-0.
