Fantasy XC is an app designed to allow people to pick athletes at the high school and collegiate level into fantasy cross country leagues. Players can then compete with each other to choose the best combination of runners. While other sports have fantasy leagues, none existed for cross country running. Hence this app was developed to cater to the huge interest in the running world for a way to draft athletes to create the best possible fantasy team. We would like to thank Athletic.net and the Barrington High School cross country team for the inspiration to create this app.
5KClock
This sports app helps coaches predict athlete finishing times by recording split times. It provides immediate projections to keep coaches informed about runner performance during races.

- Record split times

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Fantasy XC against 5.0 for 5KClock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fantasy XC has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
