Cross Country Races
- Race Distances: Varsity and Junior-Varsity race distances for boys’ competition are predominantly 5K or 3.1 miles. Some invitational meets may vary their distances.
- Race Scoring: The top 7 individuals on a team run the varsity race. The sum of the top 5 finishing places for each team represents their score. In the event of a tie, the sixth finishing runner for each team determines the winner. The remaining runners will run in a Junior-Varsity race with no grade or team size restrictions.
