Just completed a 1980 to 2009/2010 spreadsheet of the Kansas State Champions in the eight (8) field sports: FB, VB, Boys BB, Girls BB, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, Base B, and SB. Baseball and soft ball numbers are through 2008/09 school year---2010 season to be completed in May 2010.

My eyes are crossed and I wore out two pencils and three erasers. I think the numbers are 95-98 percent correct. 195 different 6A-1A schools won state championships in the eight field sports. Note: did not include 8-man football.

Listed below are the 11 schools with the highest number of state championships (1980-2009/10).

1 Bishop Miege 39
2 Aquinas 32
3 Silver Lake 31
4 Lawrence HS 27
5 Topeka Hayden 22
6 Bishop Colgan 21
7 Topeka Washburn 19
8 Olathe East 16
9 Bishop Carroll 16
10 Wichita Collegiate 14
11 Centralia 14

The next highest five schools (13 state championships each) are 6A SMNW, 4A Concordia, 3A Conway Springs, 3A St Marys and 2A Moundridge. The 432A schools do not play boys or girls soccer.

If I had included Cross Country, Shawnee Mission NW would lead all schools with 39 state championships (26 boys and girls CC plus 13 in field sports).

Of interest is the Lawrence HS record: all 9 FB and all 10 VB championships were won prior to 1996--The year I think Lawrence Free State HS opened. Since 1996, Lawrence HS has won 1 Girls BB and 3 baseball championships.
