Real quick:
Yeah, this is a controversial one, in Division 1 at least. Belleville’s top three hurdlers are among the best in the state, even the nation. They even set a shuttle hurdle record at NBON (with a kid that I assume will be running for the Tigers next year). Adams had two All-State type hurdlers, then more depth. Let’s review the process for these rankings:
A regional qualifying time earns points for a teamWith the four fastest times being counted for points
Points are listed in the table above
Those points are added for each event and then totaled
Why use regional qualifiers? It’s a set standard and saves me from sifting through thousands of times, instead it’s only a hundred or so per division.
Basically, the fourth hurdler from Adams pushed them over Belleville. This is the system I’ve been using all year, so it’d be bad policy to change it for this one. But that may switch in the future to a max of three or the point system may give greater rewards to faster times. For now, it is what it is.
As I always say, your results from the season mean a ton more than these rankings. Trophies, medals, and memories >>>
But if you want to see how I have you ranked, go ahead!
