As mentioned in our previous post, we adjusted the scoring of the intersquad meet by skipping the scoring place of anyone whose pace slowed more than 2.5% in the final mile. We did this to encourage runners to be more disciplined in their pacing and to not go out too fast.
Here is the pacing report (

After adjusting, GREEN wins both the Girls and Boys races.
- Girls: Green 100, Gold 111
- Boys: Green 102, Gold 108
After practice on September 4, Green team members were presented with coupons for a free scoop of ice cream at Oliver's Market (Thanks Oliver's!)
The girls ended up being much better at following our instructions than the boys. Of the 25 girls with splits, Sophia M stopped for Cecilia, 22 met the objective, and 18 actually negative split 3rd mile (pretty sure Sophia M would have negative split also) - so we give 92% of the girls a passing grade, 72% with A's.
Of the 33 guys with splits, 22 met the objective, 12 actually negative split their 3rd mile - so we give 67% of the boys passing grades, with 36% A's.
Some impressive "sandbagging" performances (these are some runners that did a great job following directions, plus now we know they are capable of going out somewhat faster!)
