Its not even a question- its definitely ohio. I know this because im from PA and we go to invitationals in ohio and o my god they are intense...it makes our region and state look really bad, which they are anyway....

Agreed Solon always takes it though

It ain't AL, that's for sure.

14 straight years as AL state SO champs, so its pretty hard to argue with that。

Meteorology-b: 3rd, N/A, N/A
Experimental Design-b: 2nd, 5th, 30th
Forestry-b: 1st, 4th, 9th

I'm trying to figure out which Chinese person you are on our team. It does narrow the search field considerably, though.

Pennsylvania (because we have Harriton and Penncrest) or Ohio (because Solon/Centerville)

For C division it was easily Ohio. And for B division probably Illinois. You can't go against a state that had two teams in the top 6!

Ohio, California, Michigan

Ohio, California, Michigan

Let's talk by pure number of national titles each state can claim:

11 - California (South): 1 in Div. B (Gompers), 10 in Div. C (2 La Jolla, 8 Troy)
10 - Ohio: 5 in B (Solon), and 5 in C (3 Solon, 2 Centerville)
9 - Michigan: 4 in B (2 Slauson, 1 Grandville, 1 Jenison), and 5 in C (2 Seaholm, 3 Grand Haven)
9 - Georgia: 9 in B (8 Booth, 1 Rising Starr)
6 - Pennsylvania: 2 in B (State College), and 4 in C (1 Haverford, 3 Harriton)

Obviously, you can't simply conclude that the strongest state would have the most state titles, but it does tend to show the strong states. Interesting thing to note: all of these states except for Georgia have had at least one title in both divisions. And all of these states have at least two bids to nationals.

Illinois has better be on that list, for Division B. As you stated, listing National titles will not prove to show the COMPETITION to these winning teams. For example, Marie Murphy has been very good competition to Solon Middle in the past few years, however they just cannot clench the National victory. Just because they've never won doesn't prove they aren't competitive.

Not saying you didn't realize it, but just pointing it out.
