Track Extravaganza - results announced

After much swearing at Excel, I’ve finally managed to pull together the results from July’s club championship “track extravaganza”.

This event consisted of 5 different events: 1500m (ish) steeplechase, 1 mile, 800m, 400m and 100m.

A total of 25 men and 20 ladies took part in the “challenging” mid-summer conditions (not quite as warm and sunny as we’d hoped!) and most (if not all) seemed to enjoy themselves taking on the shorter-than-usual distances.

Each race was scored as if it was a normal championship race (so, 50 points for first place and 50 points for best age %).

The “position points” for each of the five events were then added up to give an overall “position in race” ranking. The highest scorer here was awarded 50 championship points, the second placed 49 points and so on. Separately, the same thing was done for “age related points”.

In this way, July’s championship scores are evenly balanced with the other months. There was obviously an advantage in doing all 5 races, but championship points have been awarded to all participants, even if they only did one of the races.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyway, results for each individual race are here.

The July championship scores are here.

Updated tables for the championship race 2008 are here (men) and here (ladies).

Note that Jane and Geoff Bayliss, plus Steve Harris have taken part in all seven races to-date and so have discarded their worst “A” score (since a maximum of 4 races may be included from any category and we’ve done 5 “A” races).
