5. WHAT IS XC?
Everyone runs 5K (5 kilometer = 3.1 miles)
The place that you finish is your score
We get a team score by adding up the first 5 finishers scores/places
If there is a tie, we use 6th place on each team
In XC, the team with the LOWEST score wins!
Example:
CBS places: 1, 4, 5, 8, 10 total = 28
Other school: 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 total = 27 **winner**
