Yes, Davis High School graduated some serious talent this spring. No, you're not likely to notice next spring.
A well-coached team rarely has trouble recovering from the aftermath of Pomp and Circumstance. Davis figures to be no exception to this rule. They were loaded this year; they'll be loaded again next year.
If there's a giant slayer in the crowd, it's time for that team to start training hard. At this point, there are still several months remaining to close the gap. Here's a quick look at what a virtual meet based on this year's rankings and returning athletes for next year looks like:
2012 UT HS M Outdoor Track Team Scores (Returners Only)
