Conferences are aligned by enrollment. Conference quad and tri meets decide the Conference and Division Championships.  The Conference Meet format remains the same, and 5 teams and 5 individuals from each conference  will qualify for the  Sec.8/State Qualifier Meet. This  meet provides Open Section VIII Championships- teams and individuals; and Classification Team and Individual Champions- who are the qualifiers for the State Meet with  the - 5-class XC State breakdown. Numbers are balanced statewide, but are very skewed in our section. AA is Lev.to VSC,  A is Herr to Clk,  B is Sea to LV, C is Wht to Frnds, NO- Ds. ( Most of our schools are in AA and A, and we have no D schools.

  

Qualifying – Top 5 teams and top 5 individuals not on those teams advance to Open/St Q.

, Specials cases are usually accepted to advance. Awards are on an individual and team basis.

#s 15 and 16 are unassigned-team numbers in end columns.  Schedule with times and school names will be available after the mandatory coaches meeting.   

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 or scrimmage.  Schools are responsible to complete league schedules.  We will continue our increased security, safety, and medical policies, and run 4K the first 2  weeks- initiated 2 years ago-if approved at the coaches meeting. We utilize our website for results from tri/quad meets,  invitations, and notices. . ADDRESS – sectionviiixctf.com. Webmaster:Bob Beer. Rosters can be submitted by email - forms on website.
