 Glenwood earned the team title with 24 points, followed by HCHS (20), Lewis Central (18) and St. Albert (16). All four schools claimed a champion in the meet, which was postponed by rain 24 hours.
 The Cyclones, who scored three points to place 10th out of 11 teams at last year’s Hawkeye Ten Tournament, secured their highest conference finish since tying for first in 2005.
