Shout out to St. Olaf. I observed their trial in the second round against Minnesota-Twin Cities 500. For a team just a year and two months old, they've gone a long way.

Good job Iowa.  And good job St. Olaf, is that a new team?!

Wow, how big was the field this year?

Wow, what a showing from Iowa. I didn't catch that the first time I checked out the results for some reason. Wow. I've got the same question as my friend from the left though: how many teams were there?

[FundamentalPrecepts]

By my count, there were 43 teams present. As for St. Olaf, I believe they are in their second year of this incantation of their program. I say that because I seem to remember seeing their team number on the AMTA site some time ago, so I'm guessing the program was resurrected. They're getting some good results, but it's not a huge surprise given that it's a high-quality institution.

Iowa cleared out nearly half of the top ten with 43 teams present?! That's ridiculous. Congrats Iowa, you all should be quite proud.
