The
9th Annual Indiana Middle School
Cross
Country
Championship...
...is
presented by Indiana All Star Running
Club. We are a not-for-profit
organization founded in 2000 by area cross country coaches and running
enthusiasts. Our mission is to provide a rewarding championship event
for middle school runners, to introduce them to running in a large
event prior to high school, to promote sportsmanship, and to encourage
the habit of daily running for a lifetime. We believe that running
instills discipline, focus, and principles of hard work which inspire
people to be the best that they can be in every area of their
lives...as students, athletes, friends, family members, and citizens.
As
always,
the Indiana Middle School Cross Country Championship
is sponsored by the
wonderful people at
Panera Bread!
Who
Open to
all Middle
School runners/teams who meet the qualifying standard. These time
standards are set such that any young middle school runner can achieve
them with an honest effort in their training and
preparation...regardless of talent level. They are intended to be used
as goals and are set intentionally to include everyone, rather than
exclude anyone!
What
The largest
Middle School CC Meet in America! Four Varsity races
contested as Big School and Small School divisions, two Junior Varsity
races, and a combined Grades 3-4-5 race.
Where
Northview
Christian Life Church - Carmel Campus: 5535 E 131st Street,
Carmel, Indiana (corner of 131st Street and Hazel Dell Pkwy)
When
Saturday,
October 3rd, 2009
Why
To bring
the best Hoosier MS runners and teams together, to acclimate
these runners to a large championship race, and to recognize
the efforts of remarkable coaches!
Team
Rules and School Size Information
- If
an athlete’s Middle School
does NOT offer Cross Country as a team sport, and they compete during
the season for another Middle School, then those athletes may compete
as a member of that team. IN ALL
OTHER CASES,
all individuals on a team must attend (or feed into) the same middle
school…no exceptions!
- Teams
may enter more than seven
individuals per team in the Varsity races if those runners are all
varsity-caliber runners. Top
5 score. Only seven individual trophies are awarded to All-State
teams.
- No
"B" teams are allowed in the same
Varsity race.
- Home
schoolers must have run for
the middle school they're entering with this year.
- Runners
entered in JV races serve
as alternates.
- Small
School = 400 or less (+ 25
student leeway = 425) in grades 7&8 combined.
- Big
School = over 400 (+ 25 student
leeway = 425) in grades 7&8 combined.
- Small
Schools can move up!
- Big
Schools may NOT move down!
Varsity
Qualifying Time
Standards
These
are time standards which we
believe any young middle school
runner can achieve with an honest effort in their training and
preparation...regardless of talent level. They

considered a guideline, not a hard and fast rule, for coaches to follow:
Individual
Small School Girls - 14:30
Small School Boys - 13:30
Big School Girls - 13:30
Big School Boys - 12:30
Team
(top 5 add-up times)

Small School Boys - 67:30
Big School Girls - 67:30
Big School Boys - 62:30
Protest
Policy
Due to
concerns voiced in past years,
we have instituted a Protest
Policy for any coach who feels compelled to challenge a school's size
division entry. Any challenge must be presented in the following manner:
- The
challenge must be made in
writing to Club Co-Directors Connie
Martin or Matt Wire at least two hours before the start of the meet
(start time of the first race).
- The
challenging coach must include
a basis for the challenge.
- The
event organizers will handle
any protests according to the full policy*.
Registration
Procedure/Entry Deadline
All
registration for this event is
conducted online at: getmeregistered.com
Payments are made by credit card.
Coaches:
- You
must be prepared with your
school's combined 7th and 8th grade
enrollment on a day (of your choosing) between the opening and closing
of this registration. You will be required to submit this number and
place your teams in the appropriate School Size Division.
- Please
exercise care when typing
athletes' names, as all names on shirts will be printed from a
registration download.
- You
are registering these kids for the event
when
you complete the
process, not a particular race.
We do not need to know which race the kids intend to run. So long as
they line up and compete in the appropriate race, everyone's happy. It
is up to the coach, parent, and/or athlete to make sure they do this.
We will just score the runner for whatever race the chip assigned to
them crosses the line!

by 9:00 a.m., Wednesday, September 30th, 2009. No late entries, race
day registrations, or entries made by phone

*Full
Protest Policy:
Following the submission of the challenge, one of the aforementioned
club representatives will phone or approach the challenged coach and
ask
him/her to verify their submitted 7th and 8th grade combined enrollment
numbers during the stipulated timeframe.
If the
coach indicates
their enrollment to be 425 or less within the aforementioned timeframe,
we will take his/her word and request the principal to send us a letter
verifying the enrollment as having met our qualifications. If time
allows, this will be required prior to meet day.
We will
not
change awards once they have been awarded (due to an enrollment
challenge), but if verified prior to the awards ceremony,we will
disqualify any school that competes in the incorrect race.
If
Indiana All Star Running Club does not receive the requested letter
from the challenged school's principal confirming "small school" status
within 30 days of the meet, we will request the school submit a letter
from their school principal confirming small school status prior to
allowing registration for future meets.
