These rankings are created utilizing the database through weighted categories to take both the cross country season and past track season into account. The table will show you each team's highest category rank and lowest category rank as well as state that teams weakest section.
*These are not the site's subjective rankings!
If you pull up the XC Team Scores page, you'll see a new link to "Composite" scoring. This is a type of scoring that gives a team a rank on a number of different categories, with different weights on each:
- XC 5K Team Rank (normal)
- XC 5K 1-5 Split
- XC 5K 1-5 Average
- XC 5K 1-4 Rank (normal)
- XC 5K 1-4 Split
- XC 5K 1-4 Average
- XC 5K 1-3 Split
- XC 5K 1-2 Split
- Outdoor 1600m Top 4 (normal)
- Outdoor 1600m Top 4 Average
- Outdoor 3200m Top 4 (normal)
- Outdoor 3200m Top 4 Average
These still includes some of the variables such as what course difficulties bring, if outdoor programs didn't have at least four distance runners and so on but... in the same right it is interesting to look at!
