Scoring

Cross-country is both an individual and a team sport. The race will produce an individual winner; this runner will score 1 point for his or her team.  Each runner thereafter will receive a place.    The individual places of the first five runners from each school are used to determine the team score.  The team with the lowest point total wins.   Every runner after the fifth on the team is important in order to bump the points of the other team higher.  The team that wins the meet depends on the entire squad.
