What is this? New here? See how to read the rankings, with one example.

NovaRunners publishes independent statistical ratings of Virginia high school cross country: every rated run gets one number, comparable whatever the course or the day. The rankings below list each runner’s season best. Here is one row, for an invented runner, and what each part means.

EXAMPLE An invented runner and school, laid out as on the board. Each part is numbered to its note below.

  1. Rank. The runner’s place on this board, among Virginia runners of the same sex and season. Searching or filtering never changes it.
  2. Movement. Places gained (▲) or lost (▼) since the previous board; NEW means the runner was not in its top 20. It appears after an update.
  3. Runner / school. The athlete, and the school recorded with the season best.
  4. Statistical Rating. One number for how fast the season-best run was, with the course and the conditions taken out, so runs on different courses compare. Higher is faster; 1 point is 3 seconds.
  5. Rating change. Points gained or lost since the previous board. Each update recalculates every race, so a runner who has not raced since can still move a little; ◦ marks them.
  6. Adjusted time. The same run as a time on one yardstick for every course; the rating comes from it. Lower is faster. It is not a predicted time.
  7. ± seconds. How precisely the race was adjusted, in seconds at this runner’s time. Smaller is surer. It is not a range for the next race.
  8. Grade. The season-best race’s adjustment grade, from A (most precise) to E. It describes the race, not the runner; races graded A–C count as reliable.
  9. Reliable races. Varsity races graded A–C, out of every rated race this season. A runner needs two to be ranked (one in a season still in progress).
  10. Season best from. The meet and date of the run behind the rating. On the board, a linked meet name opens that meet’s results.
  11. Season best. The marked race is the one the board ranks. Each runner’s [+] opens every rated race of the season.
  12. Time. The finish time in the meet’s results, before any adjustment. Here the race ran slow, so the adjusted time is faster.

How it works explains how each rating is built, step by step.

In each runner’s race list, Time is the finish time, Adjusted is the finish time on one yardstick across courses (not a predicted time), and Grade is the race’s adjustment grade; underlined headings sort the list.

Statistical Rating = K − adjusted seconds ÷ 3, shown to 0.1 point (1 point = 3 s); for 2022, K = 489.973 for boys and 492.465 for girls. Each season has its own K (K by season). Ranks use unrounded adjusted times, so runners with the same shown rating stay in unrounded order. Filtering keeps each runner’s original rank. To qualify, a runner needs a verified Virginia profile and two reliable varsity races. These are observed season bests, not predictions of a runner’s next race. 1,998 boys’ and 1,863 girls’ athlete-seasons would otherwise qualify but are left out because their affiliation is unresolved. How the rating is built

Statistical Rating. Higher is faster: points = K − adjusted seconds ÷ 3, so 1 point = 3 s; shown to 0.1 point, with a dash below 0. K is set for each sex and season so that our ratings sit on TullyRunners’ scale at meets both systems rated.Adjusted time. The finish time with the race adjustment taken out, then moved by half of a typical runner’s fitness gain or shortfall for its date, counted from late September. Lower is faster; it puts every course on one yardstick and is not a predicted time.Time. The finish time in the source results, before any adjustment.Date. The day the race or meet was run, from the source results.Meet. The meet’s name in the source results. It links to a meet page when we have one.Rank. Place among this sex and season’s verified runners, from unrounded adjusted times. Filtering keeps each runner’s original rank.Runner / school. The runner, and the school listed with their season best. The school does not decide Virginia eligibility.Adj. SE · grade. The ± is the typical error in the season-best race’s adjustment, scaled to this runner’s time; it is not a range for their next race.

Varsity races graded A–C, out of all rated races this season. A runner needs at least two to qualify (one in a season still in progress).Season best from. Where and when the season best was run: the lowest adjusted time from any identified varsity race. A best from a D or E race is flagged.Race. The race title as recorded; it can differ from the modeled distance. A JV race is rated only when its meet has a varsity race of the same sex and distance, and never counts as a season best; open races are not rated, and Varsity B races, a JV variant, are left out.Grade. How sure we are of the race’s adjustment, from its ± at 20:00: A under 3 s, B 3 to under 6 s, C 6 to under 12 s, D 12 to under 25 s, E 25 s or more, unavailable or unidentified.
