PRESEASON STATE RANKINGS

How to Score a Cross Country Meet:

The first five finishers from each team score; that is, the sum total of the place numbers of the first five runners from a team is its score in a meet. The team with the lowest score wins. Should one team have five runners finish in the top five places in a given race, the resulting score for that team would be "15" (1+2+3+4+5=15), which is a perfect score in cross-country.

The first seven finishers from each team place; that is, each of these seven may displace runners from another team, causing its score to be higher. In a dual meet, should one team have its seven runners finish in the top seven places—before any of the opponent’s five scorers finish—the resulting score of the meet would be "15-50" (8+9+10+11+12=50), which is a shutout in cross-country. (Of course, in an invitational or championship meet with many teams competing in a race, it is possible to score above "50.")

In a dual meet, if one team captures the first three places in a race, it is mathematically impossible to lose.

In accordance with Federation rules, a tie in team scoring will be broken by awarding the win to the team with the faster sixth finisher.

How To Watch Cross CountryEach race has a map of the course. Upon arriving, use your map to get the best vantage point for the races. Most courses are set up so that the athletes go by the start or finish area several times. These are often the best places to observe without running a couple of miles yourself. You, however, are free to move about from point to point. Be sure to stay well off the runner’s path. We will inform your child of the start time of their race. Don’t be late!! If you arrive 20 minutes late, you may miss their whole race.Do not expect the attention of your son or daughter before the race. They are expected to warm up and prepare for the race ahead. At the conclusion of their race, you can often greet them after they go through the finish chute. They may however have been given a place card. These often must be given to the coach ASAP. Please remind them to do this right away. Be prepared to see a tired child after the race. Many have rubbery legs, glassy eyes, or feel sick. For most, this soon goes away. Each runner is expected to cool down. Please insist they do this. This is probably more important than the warm-up. It simply can’t be skipped. We also expect them to support their teammates who are yet to race. Although we can’t race varsity and JV together in invitationals, we are still one team, and expect to support each other. If we are racing out of town, we cannot let team members ride home with anybody without your permission. Please inform a coach if they will not be riding home with the team.

How to cheer for your cross country runner. . . . .

The Essence of Running

Running is a road to self-awareness and reliance … you can push yourself to extremes and learn the harsh reality of your physical and mental limitations or coast quietly down a solitary path watching the earth spin beneath your feet. But when you are through, exhilarated and exhausted, at least for a moment everything seems right with the world…
