So lower is better?

So lower is better?

Yes. Its the total of where each runner placed. (Ex:1, 5, 7, 10=23)
So the team in aggregate did better than the others. I thunk its also based on a top (x) number of finishers...but I cant remember how many

Top five finishers score.

Could #55 be in the works tomorrow at the NCAA Cross Country Championships? Cowboys are rated #1, Won Big12 (over defending NCAA Champ BYU) and smoked the regional field last week. Tune in to ESPNU (sorry) at 9:00 am on Saturday, November 22 and find out!

Top men’s team title contenders​

• Oklahoma State
• Iowa State
• New Mexico

Oklahoma State is the favorite entering the men’s team race. This is a team that put five runners in the top seven of the Big 12 championships and four runners in the top nine of the Midwest Regional. It’s important to note that in the Midwest Regional, star runner Brian Musau dropped from third place at 4114m to a 17th place finish. I wouldn’t expect Musau to have a collapse like that again; he’s one of the best in the sport. Oklahoma State is an elite group that has already beat Iowa State twice in the last two meets. The Cowboys are the frontrunners entering Missouri.

Iowa State was once the nation’s top-ranked team, but it has faltered a bit. The Cyclones have rebounded from a 27th place finish at the Nuttycombe with a pair of runner-up finishes to Oklahoma State, but Iowa State still hasn’t won a race since September. Luckily for Iowa State, that September race — the Gans Creek Classic — was run at the same course the national championship race will be run at in Columbia, Missouri. Iowa State had four runners in the top 10 at the Midwest Regional and should remain in title contention by the time we get to the 8000m mark. How the Cyclones finish will determine if they can break through and win their first title since 1994.
