How does a runner earn a ribbon?

Posted by Michael Patrick on Apr 01 2005 at 04:00PM PST

Ribbons are awarded to those children who finish first to sixth overall place in their age/gender group by event (e.g. 100, 200, etc.)

For example, if there are 39 runners in the Novice Girls 100 meter race, those Nativity Novice Girls who had a time which in rank order was anywhere from the fastest, 1st, to sixth place would earn a ribbon.  So if your son/daughter finishes 1st in his/her heat it doesn't necessarily mean they will earn a ribbon.

The one exception to this rule is for a child running in the 800 and/or the 1600.  By virtue of running in these more difficult events, we will award them an Honorable Mention ribbon.  Of course if they place 1st - 6th, they will receive the 1st - 6th ribbon instead of the Honorable Mention.
