What cheerleading team will win the Team Hendrick Sertoma School Spirit Award?

Burke opened with 43% of a tiny day-one field before the real contenders showed up. Fort Dorchester grabbed the lead on day 2, lost it to Summerville on day 6, then took it back for good on day 17 — three reversals inside the first quarter of the poll's run.

From there the race simply stopped moving. Fort Dorchester's margin over Summerville held between 17 and 20 points for the next 51 straight days, closing at 17.4% to 15.3%. In a 32-school field, that's a plurality, not a mandate — 15 schools never even reached 1% of the vote.

• Early chaos · Lead changed hands three times in the first 17 days
• Then frozen · Margin barely moved for 51 straight days after
• Thin mandate · Winner took just 17.4% across 32 schools
• Long tail · 15 of 32 schools never cracked 1% of the vote
