was an A race for the main team runners and a B race for reserves and any team that had at least 5 entrants in the B race were part of the team scoring.
At Pre-Nats the 'Blue' race was limited to a certain number of teams that qualified(just like actual nationals) and the 'Orange' race was for full teams that did not qualify for the 'blue' race.
Reserves from the 'Blue' race teams were allowed to run in the 'Orange' race but they were not part of the team scoring. So, all of the 'teams' in the 'Orange' race were running their actual full team(or close to) which is why I was not surprised that a BYU gal didn't win the individual, but our 'B' team would have won the team title over all those other schools A teams which really speaks to our depth.
