So either we didn't pick them up and/or I just didn't know about them, or they were not distributed.

Also note that none from those years are in any of our storage cabinets to my knowledge.

I'm fairly certain they had them from 2001 to 2004. I've only gotten bronze medals as a high school student, and I think I got one all four years.
