School of the Decade

With the decade coming to a close everywhere you look there appears to be decade lists everywhere, so I figured I would hop onto the bandwagon and put out a “sports schools of the decade” list. This list is based soley on championships won in the last decade.

Here is the list:

1. St. Thomas Aquinas
Number of Titles: 33

St. Thomas Aquinas has been the dominant school in the state the last few years and its 33 total titles in the last 10 years prove that. Aquinas had 21 titles in girls sports and 12 in the boys sports. The Saints were most dominant in boys soccer where they won six titles. On the girls side there was a lot of balance as Aquinas won titles in eight of the 10 girls sports it participated in.

2. Wichita Collegiate
Number of Titles: 28

Tennis and Golf are what got Collegiate up this high. The Spartans were downright dominant in those two sports with 20 of its 28 titles coming in those sports. On the boys side, the boys golf team made a case for most dominant singular sporting program of the decade with eight titles in 10 years. The only other program to win eight titles in 10 years was Shawnee Mission Northwest cross country. Both boys and girls tennis won six titles over the last decade.

3. Olathe East
Number of Titles: 24

Olathe East made it up this high largely based on the strength of its programs on the girls side over the last decade. Olathe East won 18 titles in girls sports to six titles in boys sports since 2000. It was especially dominant in softball and girls gymnastics with five and four titles in those sports respectively.

4. Blue Valley North
Number of Titles: 21

5. Bishop Carroll & Bishop Miege
Number of Titles: 18
