Scoring: Cross Country Scoring is simple. Take the places of the team's first five finishers and add them up. The lowest score wins. A tie is broken by whichever team's 6th place finisher finished first. Example: On Saturday, Fordham Prep's Varsity took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th. 1+2+3+4+7 = 17 points (1ST PLACE)
PR = Personal Record
Cross Country Notes
- The MIP Award (Most Improved Performer) goes to
the runner who exhibits the greatest improvement on his personal
record. This week, Sophomore Chris Van Metter
continues to shock and amaze as he runs fast enough to put
himself in the school's all-time top ten list for Sophs. Congrats
to the MIP.
