From the fall, to the winter, and then the spring, the WIAA maintains records for every sport.
Not just the winners on the field, the court, the track, or the mat.
The WIAA records the academic standing for each sports program, too.
At the end of the academic year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association compiles all the points and announces its winners of the Scholastic Cup Championship, a champion from each classification.
Clark County, stand up and salute the Camas Papermakers and the Seton Catholic Cougars.
Camas claimed the 2023-24 Scholastic Cup for Class 4A schools and Seton Catholic was No. 1 in the points in Class 1A for the second time in the past three years.
“We are proud to announce the perfect ending to what has been a record setting school year for Seton Catholic High School athletics and activities,” said Kristi Burton, assistant athletic director, in an email announcing the school’s accomplishment. “This award is a true representation of our Seton Catholic community and the commitment we have to serving and educating the complete comprehensive student.”
“It’s a testament to our kids and the hard work they put in through the year,” said Stephen Baranowski, athletic director at Camas. “I’m really proud of our student athletes.”
The WIAA awards points based on a team’s finish in state competition. Say, 100 points for a state championship. There are also points awarded for a team’s academic record. Points are taken away from programs for poor sportsmanship, things such as ejections.
Camas scored 1650 points, beating the second-place team by close to 500 points. Camas got 100 points each from its girls basketball team, the girls golf team, and the girls tennis team for their state championship performances.
The boys track and field team added 100 more points for its academic state championship.
Seton Catholic scored 1,585 points, topping Seattle Academy by close to 200 points. Seton Catholic had five academic state champions for a total of 500 points — baseball, boys cross country, boys soccer, girls soccer, and girls track and field. In competition, Seton Catholic had 12 teams reach it to state, with four teams finishing in the top five.
Columbia River was the next best finisher among Clark County schools. The Rapids finished third in the Class 2A Scholastic Cup competition.
