Apex isn't #1 in the team rankings, but the Cougars do jump up a little bit when you use average times instead of season bests.
Normally, our team rankings and virtual meets use each athlete's best time of the season. That often favors the teams that run the flattest & fastest (or nearly shortest) courses. However, with virtual meets you do have the option to use each athlete's average time over the course of the season, and that can lead to some interesting changes in the rankings. See for yourself!
