Based on size and tradition, Wolmer's Boys should be placing near the big 3 in Champs. We have been falling since we won 2010 and hit rock bottom in 2016 with 0 points in jumps, 0 gold medals and about 50 points at Champs 2016. I doubt that Wolmer's interested in winning champs anytime soon because T&F recruitment may be a threat to our efforts to challenge the co-ed and all girls schools in the academics ranking. However, restoring the links between Wolmer's and MVP should help us to rise in T&F again.

Why is it all or nothing?

Would Wolmers be happy if it maintained good academics and finished top 10 at Champs? Is that possible?

Had Campion's academics suffered since it starting winning cricket and competing well in hockey and SCQ? I guess it has since Immaculate is more the top ranked school.

Wolmer's currently has good academics and also finished in the top 10 at champs. No, the T&F people are not happy.

I am no expert but I believe numbers and tradition dictate what happens at the traditional high schools.

Campion has a tradition of playing good cricket therefore the school will support the sport and they probably can find 11 to 22 'good' cricketers in 7 years of GSAT pool (1st to upper 6th), that is about 3 per year.

Wolmer's last won champs with about 60 athletes and using Extol in 5 events. We probably need at least 70 athletes to have a decent shot at a Champs title. No school is going to find 70 decent T&F athletes in 7 years of GSAT pool, that is about 10 per year. You must recruit in order to Win Champs and getting Y&F recruits into Wolmer's is a challenge. I don't see us winning any time soon.
