MEET vs. BROMFIELD - Friday, September 24

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. Depending on the size of the opposing team, your placement can vary greatly - you might run a great race against a bigger team and finish 20th, but run worse against a smaller team and get 15th. Places can be deceiving, but the stopwatch NEVER lies. 

I've also included an average mile pace - this will give you a rough comparison between races of different lengths and terrains. 

If you are curious about 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 runners) are used to displace the opposition. 

Each runner is awarded points for the place they finish: 1st place gets 1 point, 2nd place gets 2 points, and so on. Once a team has its 7th runner finish, any remaining points places go to the opposing team, regardless of who finished in those spots. 

The points for the top 5 runners from each team are added up, and the team with the lowest total score wins the meet. 

For today's girls race, the top 12 finished like this:
1) Hale
2) Hale
3) Hale
4) Hale
5) Bromfield
6) Bromfield
7) Bromfield 
8) Hale
9) Bromfield
10) Hale
11) Hale
12) Bromfield

Hale gets 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 8 = 18 points. Because our 6th and 7th runners finished ahead of Bromfield's 5th runner, we increased their team score by a few points, making it harder for them to win. Bromfield finishes with 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 12 = 39 points. 

For the boys race:
1) Hale
2) Bromfield
3) Hale
4) Hale
5) Hale
6) Hale
7) Bromfield
8) Bromfield
9) Hale
10) Bromfield
11) Hale
12) Hale

Hale gets 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 19 points. Our 6th runner finishes ahead of Bromfield's 4th, and our 7th runner finishes ahead of Bromfield's 5th. Bromfield finishes with 2 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 39 points - remember, once our 7th runner finishes the remaining point places go to the opposing team, so even though Bromfield did not finish in 12th they get the points for that place.
