The following are the top 8 returning performers for each individual event in Class AAA. This listing could possibly include people who graduated. I did not have grade levels submitted for each athlete, so for the purposes of this list, I assumed that each person who did not have a year listed was returning. If you know of an athlete on the lists who has graduated, please let me know, and I will update the list. It could also include transfers that I missed or don't know occurred. Let me know if that is the case, and I'll fix it. The listing also does not include rising freshmen who could have had 8th grade performances that make the list.

Remember that the Power Rankings allow an athlete to be in more than 4 events. The "returner rankings" also do not include any provision for relays. All 4 members of a championship relay time may be returning, but it is not reflected in the numbers above. These are only points from individual events.
