No more than one runner per school in any varsity race.

Results
Results will be emailed to coaches following meet by Dave Jockisch.
Placement of Varsity Runners
We will expect correct placement of all your varsity runners
in the flight races. If you are entering
fewer than seven boys or girls in the flight races, you must place them from #1
races down through as far as you have runners. (Example
- if you have only five boys running, you will not enter anyone in the #6 or #7
man races.) If a flight runner does not
finish or a team does not have a runner in the race, that team will be given a
score, which is equal to the number of teams entered in the flight races. A team will be considered to be a school,
which has two, or more runners entered in the varsity meet.
Entry Fee
$80 will be the entry fee for both the high school and the junior high. Individual entries will cost $20 dollars per runner for both Junior High and High School. Entry fee money should be mailed to Delavan by September 27, 2011.
