Team Results After The First USATF MN 2018 Race

O'Gara's 8K was the first race in the 2018 USATF MN series, and we had full female and male teams (barely). Both of our teams scored second-to-last overall, but that doesn't consider the "division" (red or blue... although we'd still probably be second-to-last in our division). Here's the female results:

Top 5 runners score (much like CC), so that's why Rachel's name is in parentheses.

And here are the male results:

We'd all have to shave off (an average of) over 2 minutes to move up,
but we had a big cushion behind us so there was no danger in coming in last.

If we are able to score at every race (and that's a big IF), then I know we'll move up. Our numbers aren't as big as they were 2 years ago, so I'm afraid we'll be hanging out near the bottom throughout the year. But it's all for fun, so I don't think any of the team really cares!
