Are relay events worth double points at state track and swimming meets?
A. Yes in swimming, no in track. Victory in an individual event at the state swim meet is worth 20 points, and a relay victory is worth 40 points. At state swim meets, the top-16 finishers in each event (including relays) earn points. At state track meets, points are given to only the top-eight finishers in either an individual event or a relay. The scale is 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Swim meets have fewer events than track meets and take less time to conduct. What’s nice about the swimming system is that a kid who places 14th overall still has the satisfaction of scoring points at state. Have a question about high-school sports?
