We know who won 2A-Region 1 last week. Once again, Fleming Island is your reigning double-Region 1 champion.
But we also like to toss around ideas about the region tournament, that this district is the best, or no, that district is top-heavy but isn’t the best top-to-bottom.
And the little kid-baseball-stats-nerd-turned-wrestling-writer-stats-nerd loves these kinds of discussions.
So, which district “won” each of the four regions?
These numbers might help start the discussion, here’s first a breakdown of the state qualifiers, by numbers per district:
26: District 4.
11: (tie) District 1, District 3.
8: District 2..
My Iowa math tells me that’s 56 state qualifiers, which should track.
There’s two ways to evaluate which district “won” each region — points and qualifiers (with medals broken down). The breakdowns by each region follow.
Region 1
Points: 1. District 4 584.5. 2. District 3 365. 3. District 1 327.5 4. District 2 301.5.
Medals:
- 1. District 4 26 (9 1st, 8 2nd, 5 3rd, 4 4th).
- 2. (tie) District 3 11 (4 2nd, 3 3rd, 4 4th).
- 2. (tie) District 1 11 (2 1st, 2 2nd, 4 3rd, 3 4th).
- 4. District 2 8 (3 1st, 2 3rd, 3 4th).
The data tells me mostly what the standings did, that District 4 had the strongest district, but it was a pretty close fight for second, as both Districts 3 and 1 each had 11 medals. The 3s were only a little over two points per weight class ahead of ones when it came down to points, however.
I don’t know if I can get all 12 districts done before I go Friday morning to Osceola, in fact I’m pretty sure I can’t, but it’ll be interesting to see how the districts will fare at states next week!
