Customized DPI pins will be given to the top 20 finishers in each grade and a team plaque for the 1st and 2nd place will be awarded. Team scores are based on the THREE best places. The team that takes the sweepstakes trophy home for the year will be the one with the lowest combined team scores from their best THREE grades. **To qualify for the sweepstakes you must have a team entered in each division. Results will be announced about 10 minutes after the last race (3:15ish).
The fastest three runners from each grade per school are scored by their place in each race.
Therefore, there will be a 1st place trophy and a runner-up trophy awarded for the 9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th grade boys' and girls' team based on the lowest score for their top three finishers.
Awards:
Individual awards are given to the top 20 finishers in each race.
