The
17th Annual
INDIANA
MIDDLE SCHOOLCROSS
COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
Saturday, September 30th, 2017
...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.
Coaches:
Please review our event Rules, Eligibility, and School Size information
section each
season! Changes are sometimes made in response to issues
that arise as this event develops and grows. Thank you!

General Meet Information
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, and two Junior Varsity
races.
Where
Northview Church
-
Carmel Campus: 5535 E 131st Street,
Carmel, Indiana (corner of 131st Street and Hazel Dell Pkwy)
When
Saturday, September 30th, 2017
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, Participant Eligibility, 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 Indiana
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.
- This
is an Indiana Middle School
Championship. As such,
only student athletes who are enrolled in Grades (5), 6, 7, or 8 in a school located within Indiana's state boundaries may
participate in the four Varsity competitions. This
includes those who
are home-schooled, legally reside in the state of Indiana, and are
currently at the (5th), 6th, 7th, or 8th grade level.
- If
a
participant is found to not satisfy
the above requirements, they and
their team will be
disqualified.
- Any
3rd, 4th, and 5th grade runners who wish to compete, may
participate in the Junior Varsity competitions, provided
they have exhibited the ability to finish the 3K distance in a timely
and competitive manner. (Parents / Coaches please use discretion when
considering this option).
- 5th grade athletes, who
have competed regularly for their Middle School during the regualr
season, may compete in the Varsity competitions.
- Home-schoolers
competing for a team must
have run for
the middle school they're entering with this year.
- Runners
entered in JV races serve
as alternates.
- Small
School = 425 or less in grades 7&8 combined.
- Big
School = over 425 in grades 7&8 combined.
- Small
Schools can "move up" and compete in the Big School Races!
- Big
Schools may NOT "move down" and compete in the Small School Races!
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
are to be
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 Girls - 72:30
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 Kelly Wire 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*.

is up to the coach, parent, and/or athlete to make sure they do this.

*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.
