Crawford's site looks to have gone through a change. It's a bit easier/quicker to get the info you want now.

EDIT: Have you all been getting your info from the WIAA site all this time? I've never done any research there, was it better/more complete than Crawford's in some way (up until the recent change)?

Pretty sure the previous year results weren't so readily available on crawford's site before... though I have typed in urls to see pages he had archived but not published links to (i.e., girls 4A '02 results, which were not linked to anywhere on his site that I knew of, and also weren't complete on the wiaa site due to some glitch... all you had to do was see his labeling format for current year results, and change the number).

The wiaa site was the one with all the results archived on it before... pretty much the same info as what is on jcrawford's site now, except that they also had team champions and individual champions listed from every year all listed together (as well as the coach of the team champions), and also the different class results for each year were available via a drop down menu rather than having to go to whole different pages.

I'd used both. I checked Crawford's site yesterday, and it couldn't find the page, and I thought we were out of luck! Looks like he changed the format... I'm going to save these all down before they disappear again...

@Rob -

I did a lot of research back in the day from '59 through the early 90s. It was all there as far as I knew, though I may very well have been oblivious of missing info given changing classifications and other variables. But looking through my notes, everything I ever needed was there in terms of pure race results go.

EDIT: what I mean to say is, I can't speak for what crawford's site has provided over the past few years, but up to 2004ish it was there.
