I know it's a new year, but in the past I thought Manual usually had a strong program? The problem I saw was they couldn't beat Trinity or St Xavier. Are they perceived as having the third or 4th strongest program behind the two mentioned above and Central or have they fallen on hard times?

I wouldnt say they have fallen on hard times, but both Manual and Male have been "down" for a few years now. They are still both very strong programs, but it seems that the athletes they were once getting are heading to other programs. Both, IMO, have been hurt by Central's success and Trinity's rise above the competition.

Central absolutely dominated Manual this year in what may very well signify the changing of the guard.
