SECTION VIII, NYSPHSAA BOYS & GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY
OVERVIEW 2003
Girls Coordinator: Katie Dunne Boys & Running Coordinator: Bob Baratta
Conferences are aligned by enrollment. Conference quad and tri meets decide the Conference and Division Championships. The Conference Meets determine the qualifiers for the Section VIII/State Qualifier Meet, a Conference Meet Champion, and Individual All-Conference Honors. The Section VIII meet determines the Class A,B,C,D, Champions; the team qualifiers and individuals that will go on to the state meet. It also provides an overall County Champion and Individual rankings. This ranking determines the order of qualifiers for the Federation Championship Meet. Scoring is by NF Rules-all classes scored as one field, which includes displacement. The winning team and the top five individuals (Not members of winning team) from each class qualify for the state meet. In Class D, the qualifiers are determined on a performance basis, which is determined before the section meet. Cross Country has four classes for state competition.
A-Freeport to Calhoun; B-Carey to VSNorth; C-North Shore to Oyster Bay plus Friends; D-E.Rockaway.

#s 15 and 16 are unassigned.
Boys and Girls teams compete on the same day, same site. Pairings of conferences are different each week, so the day a school competes, and the schools they run with, varies each week. Schools are limited to two competitions each calendar week. Ten days of practice are required before the first meet. We will continue our increased security, safety, and medical updates initiated last year. We utilize our website more each season and plan more updates this season. ADDRESS sectionviiixctf.com.
