I think there is a balance to the team vs individual discussion. BOTH are important and should be determined on a case by case basis.

I will offer a counter perspective to KSwrestler103 and Chief...

I won an individual state championship in high school. The best our team ever finished was 2nd. One of my biggest regrets to this day was not being able to win the state team championship.

Neither perspective is right or wrong....just different.
