Woodbridge Cross Country had a great day at League finals (Wednesday, 11/6)!
For those unfamiliar with how scoring works in cross country, the athletes place is their points for scoring, your top 5 athletes scores are added together and the lowest team score wins. For example, a first place finish would be 1 point, a 3rd place individual would be 3 points, and a 50th place finish would be 50 points. You take your top 5 athletes, add their places together and the LOWEST wins. This means that if you took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the race, you would have the lowest possible score of 15 points.
