In the eight years, coach Maska has had 11 all-staters- runners finishing among the top 10 in the state competition.

Of the 11, one has placed among the top 10 three times, while five others have placed twice. The runner that made all state three times was Tony May, while the four placing twice were Brad Seibel, Jeff Seibel, Kris Johnson, Uave Stout and Bob Lowen. First place finishers were Lowen in 1970, May in 1972, and Brad Seibel this season. When asked who he thought was best runner ever, coach times, Maska said it would be hard to say, but if it was based on their times on the same courses, it would have to be Brad Seibel. "The runner with most potential in the eight years would have to be Dave Stout," said coach Maska.

In state competition, Stout placed 10th his sophomore year, and second as a junior, but had to sit out his senior year because of a leg injury. Other Hays High runners to earn all-state honors have been Greg Brown fourth, Doug Leiker ninth, Steve Lowen 10th, Steve Clark seventh, Dick Turney eighth, and John Hrungardt eighth..
