DyeStat Dual Meet Championship Brackets 2022 - First-Round PairingsPublished by
Sixth DyeStat Dual Meet Championship Tournament By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor The truth is, there is no trophy. At least not yet. That didn't stop the coaches from Carmel High in Indiana from making beautiful championship rings after winning last year's DyeStat Dual Meet Boys Championship. They were well-earned one-of-a-kind keepsakes. After an amazing high school season in 2022, it's time to pair off the best teams in the United States once again and find out which schools come out on top in our make-believe dual meet national championship tournament. In our view, nothing demonstrates more what a high school is capable of, athletically, than a thriving track and field team. Building upon five previous tournaments, we are rolling out a theoretical tournament, crunching the numbers with our database at Athletic.net, and scoring the matchups. Last year, we revealed winning teams from Carmel (boys) and Buchanan, California (girls). In the first round, when it makes sense, we try to arrange neighboring states for compelling matchups while also attempting to keep top teams apart. Here are the ground rules. - Almost every team listed in the tournament is a state champion. (In the case of California, the runner-up girls team was selected). - Performances used for the tournament are from the spring season and include marks all the way through June. - Scoring is 5-3-1 for the top three placewinners in all events that both schools's states participate in, along with 5-0 for the relays (4x100 and 4x400 in all cases, and sometimes 4x200 and/or 4x800 when it makes sense). - An athlete can only "participate" in four events. - There are 32 teams in the bracket; 16 from West of the Mississippi River, 16 from the East. - The boys bracket will be scored by yours truly, DyeStat editor Doug Binder; the girls bracket is scored by DyeStat editor Erik Boal. Round-by-round recaps, with each matchup being analyzed, will be posted during the next week, with the winners being revealed early next week.
