I try to get splits for the kids I coach. However, when I have multiple kids in a heat I only get the top one. What’s a good stopwatch to time with and get multiple splits.

The Casio printer watch is great. It's pricey, but you can print out all splits, run an entire XC race on it. recall while the race is going on. It's big and goofy looking, biggest drawback.
But can it take splits for multiple kids? Or do I have to recall or print and remember what place each kid was in?
I have a list of names on a clipboard and every time a runner passes the line I take a split. I put a little number beside the name indicating whose split it was. For example, Runners A, B, C, and D are running the mile.
Lap one they come through B, A, C, D;
lap 2 they are A, B, D, C;
lap 3 is A, B, C, D.
The numbers beside the names would be:
A - 2, 5, 9
B - 1, 6, 10
C - 3, 8, 11
D - 4, 7, 12
Just go back and match up the split numbers with the split times.
