Cross Country Entry List, Starting Box Clarifications

Entry List Deadline

Changes in the Terms and Conditions for the 2000 IHSA Boys/Girls Cross Country State Series require each school entering a team in the boys or girls series to submit the Entry List to the Regional Manager no later than the Tuesday preceding the Regional. This year, that date is Oct. 17. The Entry Form contained in the School Manual shows a deadline of Friday, Oct. 6. That date is incorrect. The deadline date for managers to be in receipt of the Entry Form is Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Only the runners listed on the Entry Form may represent their school at any level in the state series. Substitutions must be made from among the runners listed on the Entry List. Each school may list up to a maximum of 12 runners on the Entry List. No changes to the Entry List may be made after Oct. 17.

If your school submitted your Entry List to the Regional Manager in advance of Oct. 6, you may choose to amend it. Changes must be made prior to the close of the school day on Oct. 17, and the Regional Manager must be in receipt of your Entry List and/or amendment(s) to it at that time. Be sure to also fax the Entry List and/or amendment(s) to the IHSA Office at (309) 663-7479.
