NCAA official scoring rules. Western has a case.

A team MAY consist of 12 runners. That means that since it is Colorado's meet they can decide if they choose to score 7, 9 or 100. Their meet's rules scored SEVEN.

According to Article 2.a. WSC 8th and 9th runner not count in scoring places. That make score 28-29 in favor of Colorado. Western case deader than Trigger.

Read section C.

It looks to me like you're reading that wrong.

The 6th and 7th runners are pushers. By NCAA rules, nobody beyond 7 counts in scoring in any form. I don't think I've ever run in a major meet, high school or college, that was scored in any other way.

Add up the score by the rules and Western wins.

Amen

Go to the NCAA site and look it up for yourself.

the colorado websit DID include western's 6th and 7th, just not their 8th and 9th, so YOU read it a little more carefully b/c thats what the rules state.

A team can *run* up to 12 runners. Top 5 score, 6-7 push, 8-12 are removed from team results. CU won the race when scored according to NCAA regulations.

Add them up yourself. If CU's 14th, 16th, and 17th places moved up to 12, 13th and 14th Western wins 50 to 55

shut up, idiot, no one cares and you just sound stupid continuing to argue this point.

the score was 28-29, where do you get 50-55?? you are muy tonto

Read that. Only way Western win if runner #8 and runner #9 counted in scoring places.

According to your quotes from rulebook, Article 2.a. state that "only the first seven runners on any one team may be used for scoring places. An order for team-finish placing is established by removing all runners behind the top seven finishers on each team" therefore must remove WSC #8 (Greg Winter in 12th) and #9 (Tim Parr in 13th) from scoring places and bump Colorado #5 (Severy in 14th) up to 12th for team scoring, yielding:

CU = 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 12 = 28

WSC = 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 9 = 29

WSC possess astounding depth, but that still not change NCAA rule.

If CU's 14th man moved to 12th, their 16th guy moved to 13th and their 17th placed guy moved to 14th Western still wins 50 to 55

CU 1,2,5,8,12,13,14=55

Western 3,4,6,7,9,10,11=50

Add top 5, not top 7. Read own quotes of NCAA rule more carefully.

you count 5, not 7 moron

Top FIVE score, not top SEVEN. 6 and 7 are only pushers.

CU 1,2,5,8,14 = 30

Western 3,4,6,7,9 = 29

Read Article 2 c.
