RaceDescriptions
Co-EdRelay Race (9:00am)Teams will be co-ed and will consist of one (1) boy and one (1) girl per team. Each team member will run twice around a 1.5 mile loop, alternating girl (start), boy, girl, boy (finish). Each school may enter up to five (5) teams, of which the first three (3) across the finish line will score, with the 4thand 5th teams (if entered) acting as displacers.
Modified scoring will not be used - schools entering less than three teams will not be included in team scoring, but all finishing teams will be timed. Scoring ties between complete teams will be resolved by comparing the 4th relay team across the line from the tied schools with the lower finishing school prevailing. In the event that only one of the tied schools has a 4threlay team, that school shall prevail.
NOTE:We will utilize a 20 meter exchange zone and batons will be used! The outgoingrunner must receive the baton from the incoming runner while the baton iscompletely in the exchange zone. You must bring one baton for each relay teamentered.
Thisis a championship race. All NFHS XC rules will be enforced.
