Footlocker and Nike Regional Meets -- How does a team or person get in?

High School Running

8 years ago 11/25/2015 3:58am EST

I am new to coaching this year and hope someone can help me out here. Would someone please tell me how a team gets into the Nike Regional meet? Do they just sign up or is there some sort of selection process?

When I was in high school the Footlocker race had a minimum qualifying time to get into the regional meet if I remember right. Does anyone know if this is still the case?

Thanks, I have not been successful in finding this info. elsewhere. Hopefully in the next couple-few years I'll get some folks to these meets. Part of me wishes there was still just the Footlocker race, but I understand how neat the team aspect is.

That link talks about who qualifies FROM the regional to the national meet. I am interested in finding out who can run the regional meet. Is it open or is there a minimum threshold for the championship race. So far I haven't been able to find the info. nor get a straight answer.

So are you saying in your own internet way that after a team or individual registers that the folks at the Nike meet decide who is in the championship section. If an adult with this info. would like to chime in I'd be glad to hear it.

It might depend on the regional. At the Midwest Regional, you simply line-up for the race you want to run. There is a recommended time to run in the seeded race, but I don't think they check/verify anything. With a start line that is 400+ ft wide and a start that is straight away for 800+ meters, additional slower runners in that race isn't really a problem.

BTW - areas near Kenosha/Racine had 17 inches of snow last weekend. Can anyone verify the condition of the course at Parkside?

I'm guessing the forecasted rain will be more of an issue...Just a few inches of snow hit Parkside from the ski reports I heard -
