It's a hypotheical state race. It essentially scores the state meet based upon everybody's PR's this year. You can also look at the rankings as they stand.

I have gone thru almost all of the XC meets so far this year (plus a few from past years) and uploaded the results into the athletic.net site so people can see what it has to offer. I have used it with our school (North Star) for the past four years, and really like what it has to offer! It isn't used by very many ND schools, but is very popular out west (WA, CA, OR) as well as other parts of the country and overseas.
Check it out and try to get your school on board!
One of the MANY benefits is that only one person has to upload the results, so the meet organizers (or somebody else) could upload the results and none of the other coaches would have to do it! They also offer software to run XC meets so teams could register for meets thru the site and the data could be processed with this software after the meet...
Just a couple of the many benefits!
Thanks for looking...

I only know a fraction of the runners in the state - so I have to do some guessing. Coming from a small Class B school, I know that side of the equation the best. If schools got on board with the software and maintained their rosters, it would eliminate all of these issues - espcecially if they used the site to register teams and athletes for meets.
Are the names spelled wrong - or are they from another team? If another team, do you know which team? Some of the easy stuff I can correct, but if it gets too complicated I need to get help from the site administrators...
CandoKid wrote:Thanks for pointing that out! I checked the upload and found several things wrong, so I deleted it and will try to upload it again. If you see any more big mistakes let me know - I was starting to get system overload after processing the results for that many meets in such a short period of time...

CandoKid wrote:OK - Norths data should look better! For now the Willmar meet will not show up in the results until I figure out why it does not process that data like the other meets. Everybody uses a little different format when posting results, and sometimes I struggle to get it "tweaked" so the athletic.net system can recognize and process it...

It would be a lot easier if coaches would get on board and manage their rosters so I could match up the names correctly. Not much cooperation on that end, so I didn't try to upload every meet like I did last year. This year I have mostly done the meets we run at, plus a few others that are posted in a format that is easy to work with. Some of the formats require a lot of work, others (xcel spreadsheet) are very user friendly...
There are a lot more Class B meets posted for 2010 - since we are a Class B school.
