The following are the top 6 returning performers for each individual event in Class AAA. This listing could possibly include people who graduated. I did not have grade levels submitted for each athlete, so for the purposes of this list, I assumed that each person who did not have a year listed was returning. If you know of an athlete on the lists who has graduated, please let me know, and I will update the list.

The "returner rankings" also do not include any provision for relays. All 4 members of a championship relay time may be returning, but it is not reflected in the numbers above. Those are only points from individual events.
