Have reviewed my numbers and while there were typos in the breakdown in the number of regional medalists by weight, the total numbers of medals won by regional is correct -- if the Salina Journal has the correct hometowns attached to the medalists.
Norton Regional = 44 medals
Easton Regional = 16
Hoisington Regional = 16
Hesston Regional = 8
# of Medals by placing:
Norton = 10, 8, 5, 10, 7, 4 = 44
Easton = 1, 2, 4, 2, 4, 3 =16
Hoisington = 0, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4 =16
Hesston = 3, 0, 1, 1, 0, 3 =8
