-Teams of 7 runners race to complete a 5 Kilometer (3.1 mile) course on varying terrain the fastest. -Runners compete individually and as a team. -In team scoring, the runners score points that equal the place they finish in the race (ex. 16th place = 16 points). -The teams top 5 runners scores are added together, the team with the lowest score wins. In the event of a tie, the 6th runners place determines team placing. **Although runners 6 and 7 do not contribute to team points, they can play an important role in “displacing” individuals from other teams. ** In Florida the top 15 individuals move on from Districts to Regionals, then Regionals to States, along with the top 4 teams from Districts and top 6 from Regionals. CCHS is classified as 2A district 7, Region 2. What is Cross Country?
