2022 Team Rankings – League Week

The final team ranking of the year. Some rules and regulations, necessary when sifting through 10,000+ athletes and 600+ teams:

• The HOBBS KESSLER RULE is still in place, where I eliminate the lower third of a runner’s ratings. The reason for this is the assumption that an athlete will have races that they don’t go to the well, for many, these are jamborees or early season invites
  • For a runner that has 10 rated races, I eliminate 3; 7 rated races, I eliminate 2, so on and so forth
• The INJURY RULE is also in place, where if an athlete doesn’t have any rated races in a month, that runner is taken out of the rankings (both team and individual)
  • I’m more conservative on this than most, I realize that ACTs, sickness, family commitments, soccer kickball* are all present
  • Of course, if their coach, their parent, or that athlete wants to let me know that they’re injured or returning, I will make an exception. But only those relations, I’ve been burned too often by outsiders.
• These rankings are CUMULATIVE, with more recent meets given greater weight
  • As they contain the entire season, they will tend to underrate runners that have been on fire recently, but also protect those who had a subpar performance in the last few meets.
• All meets linked listed here have been taken into account, even if I haven’t gotten to posting every rating
• These go against the whole of each division, so if a team has a weaker 4th or 5th runner, they’ll probably be ranked lower than they would if it were just the 27 teams that run at State
• Upper Peninsula ones are missing, but they’ll be covered in their State Meet Preview this week
• These are for FUN, even if you disagree with these, don’t tear anyone down in the process
• If you do, I will bless you with 40° and rain for the rest of the season

Enjoy!
