Cedar Rapids Prairie reclaims top spot in boys’ track and field Super 10

Cedar Rapids Prairie has resumed its reign as the top boys’ track and field team in this week’s area Super 10.

The Hawks hold a 434-406 advantage on Iowa City High, which had taken the top spot last week.

Prairie’s girls also are tops in the area.

We started this in 2018. To refresh: It's a purely mathematical system, and here's how it works: Using Varsity Bound, we score the top 16 area competitors in each event, using the scoring that high school swimming invitationals score (20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for individual events, double for relays). A school can score two individuals in an event, and one relay. This rewards teams both for depth and for individual stars.
