Division I wind readings

In an ideal world, the complete wind readings for all the affected events at all of the state finals would be on the official results, as the NCAA does. This year, the MHSAA required all state finals to use wind gauges. I'll be trying to get readings from the other sites, but for now, here's Division 1:

(All headwinds)
B100 heats: -1.2, -2.2, -2.3, -2.0; semis: -2.2, -2.1
G100 heats: -1.6, -2.0, -2.4, -1.6; semis: -2.2, -3.4
B110H heats: -2.1, -1.9, -1.5; semis: -2.5, -2.4
G100H heats: -2.4, -2.3, -2.3; semis: -3.2, -2.0
B200 heats: -1.8, -2.2, -1.3, -1.8; semis: -2.4, -0.9
G200 heats: -0.9, -1.5, -0.9, -1.7; semis: -2.2, -1.1

Finals:
B110H -3.0
G100H -3.4
B100 -3.7
G100 -2.7
B200 -2.8
G200 -2.8

Long jump: gauge present, actual readings weren't recorded. All jumps had a crosswind/headwind.

If for no other reason, wind readings like these need to go on the official results, so that when we refer to the historical record in years to come, we have some understanding of why the times were so slow.
