As a reminder, Clock Time starts when the race begins, and ends when a participant crosses the Finish Line timing mat. Chip Time begins when participants cross the Start Line timing mat and ends when they cross the Finish Line timing mat.
Age group awards are determined by the fastest chip time in each division. Overall awards are based on the A Corral start time (race start).
