Below are your names and times. If I missed anyone, let me know.
I did not include your placement, because I frankly don't care. Tyngsborough had only a small number of kids today - some schools we run against are going to have bigger teams than us. I don't want you to be discouraged with running a great race against a bigger team because your place was worse. Places can be deceiving, but the stopwatch NEVER lies.
I've also included an average mile pace - this will provide you with a rough comparison between races of different lengths and terrain. Today was a short, flat course, so your time may be slightly faster than normal - keep this in mind.
If anyone is curious how cross country meets are scored, I have posted the process below the results.

Cross country meets are scored using the top 7 runners from each team. The top 5 runners earn points for their team, while #6 and #7 (if they finish ahead of the opposing team's 5th runner) are used to displace the opposition.
Each runner is awarded a point value for the place they finish: 1st place gets 1 point, 2nd place gets 2 points, and so on. Once a team has it's 7th runner finish, any remaining points go to the opposing team.
The points for the top 5 runners from each team are added up, and the team with the lowest total wins.
For today's girls race, the top 12 finished like this:
1) Tyngsborough
2) Hale
3) Hale
4) Hale
5) Tyngsborough
6) Hale
7) Hale
8) Hale
9) Hale
10) Hale
11) Hale
12) Tyngsborough
So, Hale gets 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 = 22 points. Because our 6th & 7th runners finished ahead of Tyngsborough's 3rd, 4th, & 5th, we displace those runners by two spots each, making it harder for them to win.
Tyngsborough finishes with 1 + 5 + 10 + 11 +12 = 39. Remember, once our 7th runner has finished, the remaining places go to the other team, so Tyngsborough automatically gets the points for 10th, 11th, and 12th place, even though we actually finished in two of those three spots.
For the boys race:
1) Hale
2) Hale
3) Tyngsborough
4) Tyngsborough
5) Tyngsborough
6) Tyngsborough
7) Hale
8) Tyngsborough
9) Hale
10) Hale
Both teams had 5 finishers in the top 10, so the points stop at 10th place.
Hale finishes with 1 + 2 + 7 + 9 + 10 = 29 points.
Tyngsborough gets 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 26 points.
