While 1086 has certainly been very very good since ~2006 (especially since 2007 onwards with the collaboration with 384 until this year), if we consider the history of the state, it gets a lot more interesting. I'm surprised nobody has brought up 122. The NASA Knights are one of the most storied teams in Virginia, and while they haven't quite been on the same standard the past few years and they were earlier in their history, they're still an excellent team.

An excellent point. I hadn't even thought of 122 mainly because I'm a rookie, i haven't been around that much and they didn't really strike me as that good of a team the little I saw them this year.

Another good team in Virginia could be 422. They made it to the finals in the New Jersey Regional and the semis in the Virginia regional, though I don't know how well they've done in years past.
