Burden you bring up an interesting side note. Our track and field programs (cross country included) didn't have particularly good seasons, but thanks to a handful of individuals ended the year strong. It brings up a question in reference to the Wagon Wheel Challenge.

Currently, track and field/cross country is worth six points in the challenge and you only need seven to win it. It's surprising to me that we would ever agree to those scoring parameters in the first place, and even more so after baseball was eliminated from the competition.

The Wagon Wheel Challenge is supposed to measure the superior athletic program between the two rivals but it currently only shows which track and field program is better.
