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.  The team must have competed in a minimum of 5 meets, but there is no minimum for individual runners for regional competition.

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 18.  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 10 or more teams start at the regional race, the top 4 teams qualify.

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

Spectator Admission Fee

The SSAC requires a spectator admission fee of $6 per adult, $5 per student.  Please inform your parents and fans that this is a SSAC required fee, and NOT initiated by the hosting school.  The admission fees help cover the cost of the medals and trophies that are NOT provided by the WVSSAC, Camp Virgil Tate’s rental fee, water and fruit for the runners and other expenses.  Therefore, there is NOT an entry fee for your team(s) to run.

 

Concessions will be available.
