              Step 1: Top 3 racers from each school in each age category earn points for their school.
                          Schools must have 3 athletes in a category to gain a placing in that category. 
                                   Example:  school 1 - 2nd, 10th, 15th = 27 total
                                                    school 2 – 1st, 11th, 17th = 29 total
 
              Step 2: School are ranked by placing totals and top 10 in each category are given aggregate points 
                                  Example: school 1 (1st) = 10 aggregate points
                                                  school 2 (2nd) = 9 aggregate points
 
              Step 3: Aggregate points are tabulated and sorted by Tier. 
                          In the event of a tie - the best place finish of the first runner is considered.
