Scoring and Awards

  • First 2 Meets: Results will only be posted on the tri-folds at the meet, and a picture will be taken of each tri-fold and emailed out to coaches.
  • Division Final Meet: The top 5 runners from each school will be scored. It is not mandatory to have 5 runners.  Each runner scores points for their school in relation to all other runners that he/she places ahead of. For example, in a race of 100 runners:
    • 1st place = 99 points
    • 2nd place = 98 points                
    • 100th place = 0 points                            
  • The teams with the highest number of points in the Youth Girls, Youth Boys, Jr. Girls, Jr. Boys, Int. Girls, Int. Boys, Sr. Girls, and Sr. Boys divisions will be eligible for banner recognition.
  • Girls Aggregate and Boys Aggregate titles use a different point system. Teams that finish first are awarded 1 aggregate point, second place gets 2 aggregate points, third place gets 3 aggregate points, etc. The school with the lowest number of aggregate points across all three boys divisions (Jr. Boys, Int. Boys, Sr. Boys) wins the Boys Aggregate title. The same formula applies for the Girls Aggregate title. Note: Youth results will not be counted towards the aggregate titles as not every school has a Youth team.
  • The overall aggregate title is calculated by adding the boys and girls aggregate scores together for each school. The lowest number of points wins.
  • If, for example, a school had their six teams place as follows; Jr. Girls – 5th, Jr. Boys – 10th, Int. Girls – 20th, Int. Boys – 2nd, Sr. Girls – 15th  and Sr. Boys – 5th, then their boys aggregate score would be 17, their girls aggregate score would be 40 and their overall aggregate score would be 57.
