MEET vs. BROMFIELD - Thursday, September 21

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 us 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 boys race, the top 14 finishers looked like this:
1) Hale
2) Bromfield
3) Bromfield
4) Bromfield
5) Bromfield
6) Hale
7) Hale 
8) Hale
9) Bromfield
10) Hale
11) Hale
12) Bromfield
13) Bromfield
14) Bromfield

Hale gets 1 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 10 = 32 points. Even though our 6th runner finished ahead of their 6th runner, only the top 5 count for scoring, so there is not displacement. 

Bromfield finishes with 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 9 = 23 points. 


For the girls race, the top 14 finishers looked like this:
1) Hale
2) Hale
3) Hale
4) Bromfield
5) Hale
6) Hale
7) Bromfield 
8) Bromfield
9) Bromfield
10) Hale
11) Hale
12) Hale
13) Hale
14) Bromfield

Hale gets 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 = 17 points. Both our 6th runner and 7th runner finished ahead of their 5th runner, so we push their point total higher due to displacement. Our 8th runner and 9th runners finished ahead of their 5th runner as well, but only the top 7 factor into the scoring calculation. 

Bromfield finishes with 4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 = 40 points. Even though their 5th runner actually finished 14th, because the scoring calculation stops after our top 7 they are automatically awarded the points for 12th place.
