		NOTES 
		Attica Seneca East finished as the boys state 
		runners-up four consecutive years (1994-97) in Division III 
  
		Caldwell is one of just four boys high school programs 
		in the nation to produce multiple three-time individual state champions 
		(Tony Carna, Brian Hesson) 
		
		 
		Cleveland Heights Beaumont's Katy Radkewich placed 
		second in the 1993 state tournament by four one-hundredths of a second - 
		the only race she did not win in her high school career
