The folder holds the contestants list with the winners marked.
Places only. The folder holds no tabulation sheets, just the list of entrants with the top three in each event marked in red pencil. The top three are placed; everyone else on the list is shown as entered, with no place, because the folder does not say how they finished.
Estimated team champion
9 titles · 8 schools
Each competitor’s row runs only as far as they got, so the sheet steps inward as the field narrows toward finals. Tap any name to trace their whole run.
3 recovered placements; the rest is prelim standing. Everyone without a placement is ordered by cumulative prelim rank and labelled P1, P2 … — those are standings, not placements.

A narrow or partial lead · next, Kalamazoo Central High School (est. 61)
No team standing survives for this year. This is an estimate, not a result: we applied the one scoring key the MIFA records keep, from 1974-75 (points for each entry, for reaching the semifinal, and 12/10/8/6/4/2 for 1st to 6th in a final), to the results in this book. Tested on the three years whose standings do survive, it names the real champion in two of them. It is not counted as a state title anywhere on the site.
