Aquinas has an excellent senior class returning. Many of these wrestlers were big contributors to the 6A championship team of 2004 as sophomores. Aquinas also has three returning starting juniors who should score a lot of points next year at State. According to a post in April, Aquinas had the most returning points in 5A from last year's tournament with 105.5 (edited total 6/10/06). See the entire list below.

Here is a copy of the top ten from the above earlier post:

School Total
St Thomas Aquinas - 105.5 (edited total 6/10/06)
Bishop Carroll - 93
Lansing - 61.5
Ark City - 58.5
KC-Turner - 56
Emporia - 56
Valley Center - 55
Kapaun Mt. Carmel - 48.5
Pittsburg - 48.5
Gardner-Edgerton - 48

I do not anticipate Aquinas going up to 6A next year from 5A. I think a more likely jump to 6A might be Blue Valley West.
