Bellarmine just lost to University (NCS D5) in the boys varsity race at Rams invitational. Is this ranking before or after that outcome?

I don't think Bellarmine ran their top 7 in that race, and I know for sure that their number one runner was missing.

Bellarmine split their team up and had 7 run in the Varsity #1 and 7 in Varsity #2. They lost to Monte Vista Christian in the Varsity #2 race. MVC had four runners in the top 14 and three runner between 14:29 and 14:49.

Bellarmine would still lose to University though. University's 5th was 14:38 and Bellarmine's first in Varsity #2 was 14:50.

There is no question that University has a very strong group of boys, and it would be a very competitive race. Let's see how both teams do in the next few weeks.
