Runners' individual results in the paper (5)
I believe the answer is:
times
I believe this is a double definition.
'runners' individual results' is the first definition.
(times taken to run a race)
'paper' is the second definition.
(The Times newspaper)
'in the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for times that I've seen before include "Square in New York" , "Big Apple's theatre district" , "Paper" , "Periods, ages" , "measures the length of something" .)
