Cross Country Advisory Committee Meeting                                                                  

Held November 15, 2012

 

 

***  1.   Recommend that the Cross Country Manual be changed back to the wording from 2011 as follows:  “If, on the rare occasion, a school qualifies five or more individuals to the next level of competition, the school shall compete as a team at the next level with five to seven runners.” 

Staff Note:  Below is the policy for tie-breaking out of the MSHSAA Golf Manual:

      The philosophy of the committee in regards to breaking team ties is that a complete team of five (5) golfers should be favored in the tie breaking procedure.  Teams that have only four (4) golfers due to sickness, injury, disqualification or qualifying as individuals because they did not win the District Tournament, etc., have a chance to win or place as a team; but if a tie occurs, the benefit or advantage should be given to the complete team with five (5) golfers.”

 

AMENDED:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:  Leave qualifying procedures as stated in the 2012 Cross Country Manual.

 

2. Recommend that the make-up date for district and/or sectional cross country meets fall on the Monday after the Saturday meet at 3:00 p.m.
