The District Meet:
The first 100 will receive a place card.
The first 10 athletes to finish will receive a medal.
To place as a team, we must have at least 5 players compete/place.
The total place cards are added at the end. The team with the lowest numbers will place as a team in the district meet.
For example, if we have a 1st place, 14th place, 35th place, 70th place and 80th place, our team scored a 200 which will then help in determining the overall team place.
