Eight Historic Triangle cross-country teams — four boys teams and four girls teams — are ranked in MileStat’s Virginia top 50 teams.
The MileStat team rankings are formulated based on scoring similar to what is used in traditional cross-country meets.
A runner with a faster time will place higher in the rankings, which will generate fewer points for their team. In cross-country, the team with the lowest score is the winner.
