Does anyone know if an Ohio school having only 1 or 2 athletes competing in the State Track & Field Championships either Won or took home the Runner Up trophy. I think Warren JFK had two athletes and won Division III last Spring.
What others and the year?

I'm actually very surprised that something like this happens. Usually, teams with 1-2 superstar individuals can at least back them up with at least a few other decent guys.
I can't even anything similar ever happening outside of the 2011 NBIN meet, where Verzbicas won the national championship for his school/state by himself.
http://www.deltatiming.com/results/htresult.aspx?yf=2011&mf=2011-new-balance-indoor-nationals&ev=110311F003&ts=trueBased on the results, he was Illinois' sole representative from 100+ teams/clubs that showed up.
This kind of thing happens all the time at the state level.
I don't think awarding a team title on the basis of a state (or national) championship team scoring works well in track. The conference level seems to still work well for team scoring. Dual, tri, quad can be pretty interesting as well, but one or two great athletes can too easily match a solid team when you get to a large championship meet.
Ohioans who have done it are listed in the back of the state meet program. It's been done eight times in the 100+ year history of the state meet. That's pretty rare when you consider there are multiple divisions for both boys and girls.

This is why states should have a true team meet like Minnesota. Each team enters 3 athletes per event. Winning athlete in each event gets the number if points of people entered and so on until the last athlete scores 1 point. This way every athlete scores points.
How many total athletes in a Minn state meet?
How long does it take?
