Another way of looking at these data is to apply -group1d- (SSC). In
fact Mike cannot do that himself because it needs Stata 9, but he can
use the results. With a least-squares criterion explained in the help
and references given, -group1d- yields as the best 5 groups

Group Size    First            Last           Mean      SD
   5       8   23   100.62      30   100.91   100.75    0.09
   4       1   22    98.41      22    98.41    98.41    0.00
   3       6   16    97.19      21    97.39    97.29    0.06
   2       8    8    96.11      15    96.34    96.25    0.07
   1       7    1    94.74       7    95.08    94.95    0.11

In fact, just about any method of cluster analysis should find the
same groups if they are genuine, e.g. -cluster kmeans-. Then use
whatever summary you prefer.

Details follow for -group1d-.
