Combinatorial models of cross-country dual meets: what is a big victory?

Combinatorial/probabilistic models for cross-country dual-meets are proposed. The first model assumes that all runners are equally likely to finish in any possible order. The second model assumes that each team is selected from a large identically distributed population of potential runners and with each potential runner`s ranking determined by the initial draw from the combined population.
