The fact that it's not supposed to rain (much) today (Friday) will make little difference. If anyone runs a course record it'll be a miracle!

The NCS meet schedule mirrors the state meet schedule and the races and award presentations are staggered so coaches and teams can focus on their races and not have to be at two places at the same time.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-41233722144083783832014-11-20T16:53:48.282-08:002014-11-20T16:53:48.282-08:00@Anonymous3:45

The race times and awards are staggered so that a coach can be at both races, THEN be at both awards ceremonies...and for efficiency of time. If the awards were immediately following a race, the coach would miss the start time for their other (girls) races...or the ceremony.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-3338383051396290122014-11-20T15:54:41.082-08:002014-11-20T15:54:41.082-08:00Why doesnt the award schedule follow the race sche...Why doesnt the award schedule follow the race schedule?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-74488780104058391812014-11-20T14:04:39.034-08:002014-11-20T14:04:39.034-08:00There has definitely been a problem before at the ...There has definitely been a problem before at the state meet with teams being pushed up to divisions they don't belong. Actually, Division IV and V teams were able to compete against similar sized schools but that has changed as well this year.<br /><br />Mark my words, the SS will eat up most of the podium finishes this year. This could be a record setting season for them.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-60281769840166416852014-11-20T10:58:32.474-08:002014-11-20T10:58:32.474-08:00You're probably right, Albert.

BTW, during the past 5 years, there have been 17 different teams from the Southern Section that have finished in the top 10, with an average enrollment of over 2,300 students. There have been 2 from the NCS, including 1 that is now in D1. The average enrollment of the NCS D2 schools this year is 1,797. As a federation, the CIF allows each section to decide the enrollment limits for the top 3 divisions (is that right?). But for the purpose of determining how many schools from each section make it to State, maybe there should be some kind of apples to apples comparison? This seems like an issue that many have raised, but the system has stayed the same, so maybe the sections with smaller schools for any given division are destined to get fewer spots?Marty Beenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007723949758185705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-76556063030090773912014-11-20T09:46:33.050-08:002014-11-20T09:46:33.050-08:00And by the way, it was just a matter of time befor...And by the way, it was just a matter of time before NCS lost a state meet qualifying spot in Division II. The boys will more than likely lose theirs as well unless they can start to finish in the top 10 at state. Last year, the 3 NCS qualifying teams finished 13th, 20th and 21st at the state meet.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-28182967325549608622014-11-20T07:45:50.700-08:002014-11-20T07:45:50.700-08:00Fixed.
