Team Races
In the Team Races we will score only your first 7 runners. If your School Varsity Cross Country team is Division 1 then you must enter your team in the D1 team division. If your School Varsity Cross Country Team competes in Division 2 or 3 you would enter them in either the division 2 or 3 race. All runners MUST have competed on the same school team during the season. Teams cannot add runners from other schools. Middle Schools cannot combine with other Middle Schools even if they all funnel into the same High School. YOUR TEAM IS YOUR TEAM.
Eligibilty
Due to OHSAA guidelines school teams cannot compete in this event if they have already competed in their maximum number of meets for the season, they can however enter as a club team. They would not be able to enter under their school name but could enter under their club name Example: Celina Bulldogs cannot use this name but can sign up as the Celina Jets. Teams cannot wear their school uniforms for the event but they can purchase T-shirts or other athletic wear with their club colors and club name on them(Be Creative and have fun with it). Middle School Coaches are not permitted to coach the athletes after their school seaon has ended or at the state meet. Club teams can appoint a parent or Varsity athlete to coach them in the event however.
