Cross Country Notes
The MIP (Most Improved Performer) is awarded to the runner who exhibits the greatest personal improvement during the past week.  While the pre-season time trial usually sees runners run considerably slower than their PRs (Personal record), Junior Mike Forman showed what serious summer running can accomplish: he improved his time by more than a minute!  Congrats to the inaugural MIP for 1999.  Pick up your MIP T-shirt on Tuesday!

Scoring a Cross Country Meet:

Is simple.  Usually, a team is made up of 7 competitors.  In scoring, each team adds the finish places of their top 5 finishers.  Thus, the lowest score wins.  In case of a tie, the team with the lowest 6th place finisher wins. 7th place ( and lower, if a meet agrees to have unlimited team members) also plays an important role, as he might finish ahead of another team's 5th place finisher, thus increasing that competitors' score.

Example: 9/3/99 Xavier-Fordham
Fordham 2-3-7-8-11 = 31 (6th finisher was 12th place)
Xavier 1-5-6-9-10 = 31  (6th finisher was 16th place)
