What happened with Brentwood HS?

Does anyone know how many States allow year round coaching?

My guess is less than 49?

Tennessee does.

So we have TX and TN.

Any others?

Thought I heard VA and NY...does that sound right?

So some states allow their high school coaches to continue to coach cross country runners after the official high school season?

Some states allow middle school kids to run on high school teams?

Some high schools have over 2000 students in their schools to pick from to make a team?

Some schools have classes during the school day that allow runners to get in a second workout/lift weights/etc?

Some schools pay their coaches to run summer school programs and can have coaching contact with their athletes?

I'm guessing many of the teams that make NXN have two or more of the above afforded to them.

Absolutely. And there have probably been multiple teams that have made NXN with one or none as well.

Everyone has different circumstances they are dealing with.

Probably some (but not all) of the states that have official indoor track seasons as well.

VA does not allow year round coaching.

Glad the Cheesemans got out of Brentwood before things got hairy. Seems like a really good kid and family and he tore it up at NXN South!

Different Brentwood, he went to Brentwood academy

So when are the restrictions?

The kids’ families paid whatever amount they paid for several months’ worth of coaching and for travel for three weekends during the season. One kid made nationals. The team wasn’t very close at all. Worth it?

What was the alternative?

Being on the school team? Those guys would have been at least decent running for the football coach, let alone the real coach the school finallly hired.

I know all I need to know about the situation in that a private coach is involved. Scum of the earth.

VA allows almost unlimited off-season conditioning, and let's face it, it's all conditioning in distance running.

Fayetteville-Manlius top 5 went 3,4,5,6,21 in the results posted how does that add to 24?

And the 5th runner was over a minute behind #4. What am I missing?

The USA ought to do away with HS sports and have only clubs in all sports.. Private coaching is the way to go. Best for the athletes.

Ridiculous concept that would cater solely to the wealthy.

Texas does it right. UIL you have to be a teacher and they give us minimal restrictions. We can make a very large impact this way.

No one has addressed what would have happened if a group on the HS team tried to run at regionals. Could both teams run? If only one team could run who would get precedent? The better team or the authentic hs team?

??

Their fifth was 12 (overall), not 21, and was the 9th scorer.

3-4-5-6-12-(34)-(56) overall, with scoring actually being 2-3-4-5-9-(22)-(40).

Their sixth was over a minute behind their #4, but she wasn't a scorer and she didn't place 21, so I'm not sure what you are referencing.

18:17.3-18:20.1-18:24.3-18:30.5-19:11.2-(19:59.6)-(20:39.0)
