At least everyone is running the same course on the same day in similar conditions. Giving weight to different league meets at Crystal doesn't make sense because a) heat/wind can be a huge factor there on different days b) some leagues meets with less depth become strategic races and thus produce slower times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-9491167014853091842017-11-23T10:16:45.257-08:002017-11-23T10:16:45.257-08:00Dyestat USA top 30 (CA) rankings today: 2 (1) Grea...Dyestat USA top 30 (CA) rankings today: 2 (1) Great Oak, 7 (2) Roosevelt, 10 (3) St Francis (MV), 13 (4) Dublin, 20 (5) Dana Hills, and 24 (6) Loyola.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-2803081640244361792017-11-23T00:21:22.543-08:002017-11-23T00:21:22.543-08:00prestate rankings women:

As mentioned in other strings, the varsity boys and girls teams have a lot of young kids on them. That means a lot of the parents are relatively new to HS XC. I can tell you from contact with them that, as a group, they are at the same time enthusiastic and inexperienced. Attributing many of the rules-related comments above to the SF parents is amusing. A few may know enough to make those comments but the vast majority would have no idea about the issue. I don't think it is fair to impugn them as a group for comments that were most likely made by others. In my experience, the kids and the parents at SF are humble (especially the boys who have been taken apart by Bell for more than 10 years).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-61612567143440742012017-11-20T11:03:02.811-08:002017-11-20T11:03:02.811-08:00Some explanation would be welcome.

Can other schools go to the start line with 8 eligible runners, and decide who’s running day of? I’ve switched lineups from league finals to CCS before, but I remember having to have names submitted by a certain date early In the week. Right now we’re saying there in no rule, and even if there was no one checks, or it must be protested to be applied.

Just a discussion. I don’t know if the errogance of the Saint Francis supporters and the “so what there’s nothing you can do about it” attitude is someone trolling or real, but that kind of attitude is why there is such a divide between public and private schools. It is clear your coach did something that was wrong but understandable with an explanation. A mistake in judgement was made and that happens. But the “move along, nothing to see here” only fuels that there’s much more going on we don’t know about. Saint Francis is a good school with a well rounded program of academics and athletics. But for some reason the attitude of the parents rub me the wrong way.

The CCS By-laws are additions that apply only specifically to CCS on top of the NFHS rules. Something not mentioned in the bylaws doesn't mean there is no rule for it, it just means there are no special CCS rules for it, and the applicable rules are in the NFHS rules.<br /><br />Also, the NFHS rules are not available free online.

You may of even heard of coaches being reprimanded for this (one infamous case was at Arcadia HS). In track in the NCS a school was DQ’d at league for running an athlete that was not the one listed. It has also happened at state numerous times. If you give another athlete someone else number or pretend to be someone else it is a disqualification.
