Note: Solon competed only one ranked team and they may have placed better in an event with one of their other teams, but I didn't count it here. If I did, it might only shift them up barely above New Trier.

Also note that our unranked teams were composed of newer team members, students that haven't had a chance to compete this year, and more experienced students put in events by themselves (which considering the quality of the tests made many of the events extremely difficult to do alone). We also were missing a significant chunk of students to the Speech and Debate State qualifiers
Seeing as I wrote the fossils test, I am open to feedback (both positive and negative) on how the event was run, the test was written, the specimens etc. Please feel free to share your thoughts

It looks like New Trier is much stronger than there were last year if you compare them to last year's Solon Invitational. Mason on the other hand seems considerably weaker as they handily won last year without much stacking (30 points between their teams). Mentor is consistent with the rest of their results this season being strong in a few mechanicals and not much else.
Would be curious to see what would happen if you threw Troy Michigan into the mix with Northville again to get a better idea on how Michigan will turn out this year.
I have a question about the B placements I have seen places that said Raymond Park from Indiana got 5th but the wiki says that Science and Arts Academy did, was there an appeal?
