What does chip time mean in marathons?

There are two methods of timing a marathon: Gun Time or Real Time or Official Time: The time from the sound of the starter's signal to the time the runner crosses the finish line. Real Time or Chip Time: The time it takes to go from crossing the starting line to crossing the finish line. Races will supply runners with a computer chip, programmed with the runner's personal and race information, that is attached to one of their shoes, usually a shoelace. Some chips come with velcro and are attached around the ankle. The chip records when you cross the starting line, which has a mat that activates the timing, and when you cross the finish line, which also has a mat to deactivate the timing. Most large marathons use chip time since it allows runners to line up at the start with folks that can run about the same pace. They won't have to worry about pushing through slower paced runners to get to the front or being pushed by faster paced runners.

Why am I slower at cross country in the morning because I do well in after-school races but not so well in morning races?

There are several possible reasons as to why you might run better in the afternoon.
1. You may be glycogen depleted in the morning: Generally, upon waking up it's been the longest in the whole 24hr cycle since you've eaten. Even if you eat a good breakfast your body might not have time to break down all the complex carbohydrates before you begin racing. Try carb-loading the night before the race, or eating a breakfast with simple carbohydrates that are broken down quickly.
2. You might not be warming up enough: The morning is generally the coldest part of the day, and the longest time since you've done any activity. For all the metabolic, enzymatic, and circulatory pathways to be at optimum race performance your body has to warm up and get used to a little bit of exercise to snap it into performance mode. Try spending a little more time doing goal-pace warmups before you race.
3. whatever other reasons there are, I don't know or can't think of them right now... ask your coach
