NXN loophole, Tamagno at FL?

High School Running Distance

9 years ago 11/30/2014 11:34pm EST

It looks like Tamagno will be racing at FL and not with his team at NXN. There can be an argument made that Brea shouldn't be able to take their team to NXN without Tamagno nor would they have qualified without him. With that being said, the league Brea is in is super fast and NXN is a "club" race. Could Brea assemble the top athletes from their league and run as a team at NXN while Tamagno takes on the big boys at FL? I can't find any anything saying that all of the athletes on a team need to be from the same school or the team that races at NXN has to be the exact team that raced the qualifier.

I realize that it's too late for this to happen this year but how long will it be until a group of athletes form a super team to win NXN?

This is what the Century League All Stars would look like based on the state meet results.

Austin Shellito SR Brea 15:29

Chance Lamberth JR Canyon 15:30

Adam Villela JR El Modena 15:32

Gio Orellana SO Brea 15:36

Angel Escobar SR Brea 15:46

Dylan Scarscone JR Canyon 15:47

Wesley Walsh SR Canyon 15:49

re: Name:

That team wouldn't win the CA state meet let alone NXN.

All star teams are no fun.

re: The Donger

I believe that it would give them the second fastest team time of the day behind Ventura at 1:17:54. Compared to the 1:19:18 Brea would have ran without Tamagno (still good for 3rd in DIII). So the all star team would have earned a ticket to NXN.

re: Name:

The short answer to your question is a very long time. While yes the race is a club race the members of the club have to attend the same high school. Several teams have tried over the years to get around that rule but have been detected and teams removed from the entries.

There has been speculation for years about how an all star team could be formed and entered but it simply isn't allowed.

re: Name:

Sorry, I didn't answer the second part of your question. The team that qualifies should have the same members but limited substitutuions are allowed. In this case they would be allowed to back fill his slot with an other member from the same school. This would be treated as though it was an injury substituiton. Each team is allowed to declare one alternate.

re: NXN official

Some guys from NY tried to form an all-star team for Nike and were told No- the runners in the "Club" have to go to the same high school.

re: runn

What If a runner lives in say Pa but goes to school in NY. Could the runner run in the NY region?

re: border war

That has happend in the past. A girl lived in Vt but went to a school in NY. She ran for her NY team. If she had not run for the NY team she could have run as an individual from NE.
