Notes
The analysis requires lots of data with lots of connections between performers. Therefore we do not have meaningful results until early October. Individuals who have not raced much might not have a representative performance. Also, teams that have competed in meets without other GLR schools have weak “connectivity” and their results are less reliable.

Team rankings are based on a virtual regional meet using the season-best performances by the top 7 individuals from each school. Individuals who have not raced are not considered.

The times are normalized to an “average” 6km course. The times do not correspond directly with a specific performance (and can appear “slower” or “faster” than the actual best race performance). The real value of the times is in the relative time differences. As more data is added past performances are “corrected” so changes can occur even after an individual has last raced.
