CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
Dear Coach:
West Valley High School is once again proud to be hosting the
2008 Northern Section Cross Country Championships.
The following reminders should help to alleviate concerns you may
have. 1) Overall scoring
will be used at each level rather than scoring each individual division.
Divisional champions will be the highest placing team from that
division. 2) Individual
qualifiers to the State Meet will not be adjusted once results are
posted. Teams must declare
their intentions not to
participate at the State Meet at the coaches meeting prior to the
Section Finals. Failure to
do so will cause their athletes to be ineligible for State individual
competition. 3) A
computer scoring program will be utilized, necessitating the prompt
return of school rosters. Please
familiarize yourself with the following information.
