Contest time!! How many swimmers for Clovis....

Here are the counts from 1990 to date: YEAR SC 1990 1592 1991 1529 1992 1505 1993 2055 1994 1912 1995 1992 1996 2048 1997 1438 1998 1738 1999 2060 2000 1390 2001 1850 2002 1103 2003 1922 2004 1564 2005 1620 2006 1276 2007 1456 2008 1865 The avg above is 1680 and the mean is 1620 (thank you, Excel). Even though past results are no indicator of future results, I'd say this meet is almost exactly as it would be predicted if you only looked at the numbers model. I wonder if their is any further pattern to this? Do east coast or west coast location get better turn outs? Or do middle country states like Texas get the best overall showing? Assuming Clovis in at least 1500+ swimmers, it would be a very good turn out for a location that is not exactly thrilling as a destination (nothing against the area, I grew up there!!).
