VARSITY
TEAM SELECTION
The Varsity
Team-----or the top 7 runners for the boys and girls----- will usually be
determined by the fastest times.
Before the first meet there will be a 2-mile time trial down at Walla
Walla point park-----on our home course.
The top 7 runners will run Varsity for the first meet as long as they
have met all other eligibility criteria.
After the first meet, the Varsity positions may vary according to
performances of all of the athletes during the following meets and the
following practices. Usually,
those athletes with the fastest times will run Varsity unless there are certain
considerations or consequences in a given situation that must be
addressed. (Including sickness,
injury, and rest) The coaches will
have the final decision in selecting the top 7 for each meet.
TRAVEL
TEAM
We are limited
to one Charter for all of our away meets.
This will limit us to taking only 44 athletes to compete at each
meet. Due to these restrictions,
if we have more than 44 athletes out for cross-country at a given time,
participation at the meets will be determined on the following criteria:
1--
Attendance at practices prior to each meet;
2--
The ability to compete (not injured);
3--
Attitude;
4--
Running times.
POST-SEASON
ALTERNATE
Post-season
events allow for an 8th person, an alternate, to go with the team. They will probably not run unless there
is an injury or an eligibility problem with one of the top seven Varsity runners. This position will be determined by the
coaches based on times, attitude, dedication and support for the team. IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO BE AN ALTERNATE !
1. TO
EARN A JUNIOR VARSITY CERTIFICATE OR VARSITY LETTER YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM FOR THE ENTIRE
SEASON WITHOUT VIOLATING THE ATHLETIC CONTRACT. THIS INCLUDES COMPETING IN JV CHAMPIONSHIPS TO EARN A JUNIOR
VARSITY CERTIFICATE.
2. TO EARN A
VARSITY LETTER YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE REGULAR SEASON AND MEET THE LETTERING TIME ON AN APPROVED COURSE. IF YOU COMPETE AT REGIONALS

earn a Varsity letter after the second consecutive year in the program as long
as they attend all practices and assigned meets and have performed their
required duties to the satisfaction of the coaching staff.
5. The
athlete must conduct himself/herself during the season in a manner that warrants
the awarding of a Varsity Letter.

ALCOHOL/DRUGS, OR STEROID DRUGS THEY FORFEIT THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO EARN ANY
