Team Races

In the Team Races we will score only your first 5 runners. If your High School Varsity Cross Country team is Division 1 then you must enter the D1 race. If your School Varsity Cross Country Team competes in Division 2 , 3 or 4 you would enter them in the D2, D3 or D4 division. If entering a team All runners MUST have competed on the same team during the season. Teams cannot add runners from other schools. If you did not run together during the season you do not run together at the championships!

If your School is not a member of MHSAA they can enter thier entire teams.

All Elementary schools and clubs can enter the event as teams. If your community does not have an Elementary running club consider starting one.
