FAQ
How is a XC meet scored?
The first 5 runners to finish from a team have their finishing place added to create the team score. The 6th place runner on a team counts as a tie breaker and in a championship the 7th is the alternate. In a non-championship meet there are often more than 7 runners on a team and anyone can help their team standing by finishing in front of a runner from another team. Because of this reason, all runners on a team count and can contribute to a team's finish.
How long is a XC meet?
In middle school, most of the meets will be 2 miles or less.
What To Wear?
Wear a pair of good fitting running shoes. Uniforms will be provided for meets.
Bring a water bottle!
