TEAM DIVISIONS

Divisions are based on the total number of
sophomores, juniors, and seniors at a school.
California schools must use their appropriate
division as designated by their section of CIF.
Schools from outside California should use the
following guidelines for selecting their division.
 
Div. 1 1533 or more
Div. 2 1217 - 1532
Div. 3 908 - 1216
Div. 4 401-907

Teams may run in larger enrollment divisions, but
may not compete in lower ones. It is the
responsibility of the high school coaching staff, not
the meet management, to enter your team correctly.

J.V. TEAMS will race 3000 Meters and VARSITY TEAMS will race 5000 meters.

THE COURSE
THE ENTIRE COURSE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL 9:15 AM on SATURDAY. No one will be permitted on the course prior to that. The first races can warm up on the dirt roads next to the course. Please explain this policy to all of your athletes, coaches and parents. The course will NOT BE OPEN FRIDAY for a course jog. Disqualification will result from ANY VIOLATION of this policy.
 
The start and finish lines are located on the #2 fairway of the Stanford Golf Course. The starting line will allow 2 runners on the front line.
 
Course maps, course descriptions, and directions to the course are included in this packet.
 
Please warm-up in the #2 fairway area. Do not run on the exact course because there will be many races going on during the warm-up time. Important announcements will be made in the #2 Tee area.
 
Please stay away from the stable and barn areas. Please instruct your athletes to NEVER RUN ON THE GREENS, ACROSS TEES, OR THROUGH SAND TRAPS. NO FRISBEES, FOOTBALLS, OR PETS will be allowed anywhere.

SCORING AND AWARDS

2. You will create your teams on race day from any combination of runners listed on that entry form. List (print or type) those athletes which are likely to compete.
3. Each runner will receive a finish card in the chute. Coaches should take these cards and turn them into the scorer's table after you tally your scores. Do this immediately to avoid disqualification.
4. For each J. V. race, we will present trophies to the top two teams and t- shirts to the first ten individuals. For each varsity race, we will present trophies to the top four teams, a special first place award to the individual winner, and t- shirts for 2nd through 15th place. Additionally, members of the winning team will receive a special award recognizing their victory.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The beautiful Stanford Golf Course is home to the Cardinal men's and women's cross country teams. Both picturesque and challenging, the Stanford Golf Course has played host to an outstanding tradition of top flight cross country competition. Home of the NCAA District- 8 Championships for six seasons and the Pac- 10 Championships since 1972, the course has challenged some of the finest distance runners in the world. In 1996, Stanford hosted the USAT& F National Cross Country Championships. The meet saw the nation's best harriers compete for national titles and spots on the World Championship team.
 
The course is mostly grass with some areas of dirt and short stretches of asphalt. Athletes will find the portions of the course on the same side of the tunnel as the starting line (see maps below) to be relatively flat. However, the course beyond the tunnel contains several long hills.
