In 1999, the Mt. S.A.C. course was renovated. The Valley Loop
was shortened a bit, and the sand on Poop-Out Hill was
hardened. Research concluded that the renovated Mt. S.A.C.
course was as a result, 18 seconds faster per runner. Thus, in
comparing times pre-1999(not bolded) to post-1999, 1:30 has to
be subtracted to the team times of 1987-1998.
*It
was later concluded that the team time of 1:23:54, indeed
qualified Salesian for an at-large State berth.
How is cross country scored?
A cross country meet is scored by adding the
places of a team’s top 5 finishers. Like in golf, the lowest
score wins. In an event of a tie, the 6th place runner
breaks the tie. Although “non-scorers” do not usually figure
into the scoring directly, they can become a factor in the
scoring if they finish before other teams’ top 5 runners.
Consequently, they become “pushers”, adding points to other
teams’ point total, making cross country a unique sport in
that the individual and the team are of equal importance.
What has been Salesian High School’s
Cross Country history been like?
Salesian cross country is a hallmark name in
the small school divisions of the Southern Section.
Beginning in the 60’s with the Keegan Boys coached by
revered Brother Tom Keegan to the present, Salesian cross
country is no stranger to league titles and post season
success.
