SECTION VIII, NYSPHSAA BOYS & GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

Schedule 2004

Girls Coordinator: Katie Dunne                                                        Boys & Running Cordinator: Bob Baratta

 

Conferences are aligned by enrollment. Conference quad and tri meets decide the Conference and Division Championships. The Conference Meet format remains the same, and teams and individuals will qualify for the open Sec.8/State Qualifier Meet similar to past year format. This meet would provide Open Section VIII Championships, teams and individuals, and Classification Team and Individual Champions, who are  the qualifiers for the State Meet with the new- 5-class breakdown.  The State Meet now has five classes. Numbers are balanced statewide, but are very skewed in our section.  State #..AA-FREE TO PORT,  A-VSC TO ISTR, B-WHEM TO MAL, C-WHT TO FRNDS, D-EROC.  

 

Qualifying – Top 5 teams and top 5 individuals not on those teams advance to Open/St Q as in the past. Special cases are usually accepted to advance. Awards would be on an individual basis. (see guide)                        Invitationals

Boys and Girls teams compete on the same day, same site.  Pairings of conferences are different each week, so the day a school competes, and the schools they run with, varies each week. Schools are limited to two competitions each calendar week. Ten days of practice are required before the first meet. We will continue our increased security, safety, and medical updates initiated last year. We utilize our website for results from tri/quad meets and invitation, and notices. .
