We know all the arguments against it: it's not fair to compare runners and teams that didn't compete head to head, especially when then compete on different courses, in different conditions, or even on different days. You know what? WE DON'T CARE. Results merges are fun and interesting, we like them, and we're going to keep doing them!
As it happens, they're also pretty useful at this time of the season - everybody is racing hard to get to the state meet, and we can learn a lot about the top contenders by applying a judicious eye to the combined results from various section meets. So, without further ado, check out the plethora of merged and combined results from the past two weeks of section finals!
Section-By-Section Results Merges:
Combined Results from Multiple Sections:
- SDS and LA City Together: Boys*
- SDS, NCS, and CCS Together: Boys*
*SDS girls run 2.75 miles, so they can't be merged with 3 Mile sections
