Cross Country
The East Husker Conference shall conduct a cross country meet for its member schools to be held the Thursday of the 14th week of the NSAA Standardized Calendar. The rain/weather date for the cross-country meet shall be Friday of the 14th week of the NSAA Standardized Calendar. The conference cross country meet shall follow those guidelines suggested for district meets in the NSAA track manual, with the exception that teams may enter junior varsity runners.
The site of the meet will be determined on rotation among member schools that have the facilities (SEE APPENDIX A). The start time for the meet will be determined by the host school. If there is a conflict with other home events (football or volleyball for example) or the weather dictates, the host school may move the start time to allow the meet to take place.
A Host Committee shall be formed annually to assist the meet director in organizing and hosting the conference cross country meet. This committee will consist of the previous meet director, current meet director, and the next meet director. If necessary, an extra person can be added to the committee if the committee lacks experience in directing the meet. The Host Committee is charged with addressing issues that arise from the meet and drafting and communicating any potential changes in cross country by-laws to the superintendents.
Entries are to be sent to the host school no later than Tuesday of the 14th week of the NSAA Standardized Calendar. Coaches must designate varsity runners on this entry, and any changes in designated runners must be made to the host school and the individuals running the automated timing system prior to the start of the race on the day of the meet.
If available, the conference will contract with a company capable of providing a Fully Automatic Timing System to coordinate and time the races.
Awards: In Cross Country the top 15 individual finishers will receive medals.
