Entry Limits - The top two teams and the top 15 individuals from each district (Hogoheegee, Black Diamond, and Cumberland) qualify for the Region D Championships. Just to make sure that everyone understands, it is not the top 15 individuals not on the top two teams. It is the top 15 individuals. This means that you must be on one of the top two teams or you must finish in the top 15 if your team doesn't place in the top two. Also, if your team qualifies from the district to the region then only your top seven can run in the region meet
Qualifying for State: The top three teams and the top five individuals not on the top three teams qualify for the 1A State Meet in Salem on November 13th
Entry Procedure: All entries must be entered on milestat. Entries will be due by November 1st at noon. Coaches will also need to fill out a paper State Entry Form as well that will need to be turned into me before you leave. There will be entry forms in your packet. You can also find them on the VHSL website. This is required. I have to send the paper entry forms into the state meet director

Buses: Buses will drop off teams at the top of the dam and then continue down the road to the parking lot on the right where you will park
