We didn't say much at the time about our disappointment because it is Team Policy not to complain about such things, at least not publicly. But I am allowed to sympathize with others experiencing similar things.
In a way, these posts make me feel a little better because now I know it wasn't just us. We thought it was because we are just a small private school located far away from Mecca, I mean Manchester. But then those of us on the West Coast often feel ignored by HQ. If it was west of the Mississippi, it didn't happen....

I think it was 2006 that they only allowed the drive teams to receive medals at first, then allowed the teams onto the field after the whole ceremony for photos and such. It seemed like a decent solution.
