DyeStat Dual Meet Championship Brackets 2021 - First-Round Pairings

Fifth DyeStat Dual Meet Championship Tournament

By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor 

Well, it's come back around again after a year's absence. Even though the pandemic dented the 2021 spring season, there are enough data points available to evaluate and search for the best hypothetical high school dual meet teams in the United States.

Building upon four previous tournaments pre-pandemic, we are rolling out a make-believe tournament, crunching the numbers with our database at Athletic.net, and scoring the matchups. In 2019, we revealed winning teams from Hopkins, Minnesota (boys) and DeSoto, Texas (girls).

Here are the ground rules.

- Each team that is listed in the tournament is a state champion. (In the case of California, because there was no state championship meet for the second straight year, we selected section champions). 

- Performances used for the tournament are from the spring season and include marks all the way through The Outdoor Nationals, presented by Nike.

- 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 4x800 when it makes sense).

- A particular 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 July 22.

Previous Winners

2016 - Boys: Auburn (Alabama); Girls: Miami Northwestern (Florida)
2017 - Boys: The Woodlands (Texas); Girls: Chandler (Arizona)
2018 - Boys: Hoover (Alabama); Girls: Chandler (Arizona)
2019 - Boys: Hopkins (Minnesota); Girls: DeSoto (Texas)
