Regional Meet

1.    In the Regional Meet, you may enter up to 10 runners, but can run only 7 maximum at the regional race.  As always, please try to bring at least 5 runners to make a full team, so each region may send as many teams as possible to states.  Five runners must start the race, but are not required to finish the race, to have a complete team.

2.    Per the Interscholastic Entries must be done using "RaceTimeEntry.com". Mailed or faxed entries will not be permitted!  We will pull entries on Sunday, October 19.  Please make sure that the names of the athletes that you enter are on your eligibility certificate and that they are spelled correctly.

 

Qualifying for the State Meet:

1.    To qualify as an individual: Each region will qualify 20% of the number of contestants that start the regional race to the state meet inclusive of those individuals that qualified as a team qualifier, with a minimum of 10 individuals qualifying from each region. Regular math rounding (.5 & up, round up, below .5, round down) will apply.

2.    To qualify as a team: This depends on how many complete teams (5 or more runners) start in your regional. If only 1 full team starts, only the regional champion qualifies. If 2-5 teams start at your regional, the top 2 teams qualify. If 6-9 teams start at your regional, the top 3 teams qualify. If more than 10 teams start at your regional race, the top 4 teams qualify.

3.    If your teams qualifies for states, all runners submitted for Regions are automatically submitted to the state meet.  This provides the runner a state meet tag number.
