I'm surprised that this is an issue. Back i NC highschool, we would have full on fights against other teams in the woods during our races. Thats why we had our bruisers from football that joined the xc team sometimes for fun. They would clear a path for us(the top 5) and also chase down anyone that elbowed us. Hell, even our coach knew that.
One race, our top 5 and the rival school's top 5 were literally punching and pushing eachother in the woods. Our bruisers, if they were able to catch up for a second, sometimes would grab onto one of their guys, hold them down and pummel them. Sometimes their bruisers got us too. Again, this was all part of the game. After the race, there weren't any hard feelings.. It was pretty much understood that this was how to race.
What? This has to be a joke
Also, OP is obviously trolling
Not a joke at all. This was how it was like back in the 90s/early 2000s HS NY XC. We realized pretty early in HS that none of us were good enough to make it to nationals, and so did the other teams in our conference realized this too. Our conference for those four years were definitely an odd bunch, now that I think about it. Those fights in the woods are something I'll never forget. Our number 2 guy, Paul even shat into his hand and threw it behind him like it was Mario Kart. After the races, we'd just warmdown with runners from other teams, the same ones we'd just fought 20 minutes prior.
Oh wow, your kid must run with DuPont Manual in Louisviile, KY hahaha
If you have a younger son, have your younger son play Am. football. Let your two sons compare war stories. Is XC really that violent?
Honestly, that what XC is. It's not on a track, frequently when you're taking sharp turns or someones cutting two close besides you, you've gotta lean a little bit, and naturally when running, so there's a chance that it was just natural process. During the first 400m-800m of large races, I can't tell you how many times I've been elbowed and spiked, none on purpose just what happens when everyone's cutting corners so close together. Secondly, the cutting courses thing is something that you can't prove without evidence, which makes it the same as a rumor, so that's completely unnecessary to report, and something you'll just have to give up until there is evidence. Reporting this to a Coach is completely unnecessary, if the boys on the team actually care about their spots they'll fight back, and won't let him have his way.

Wrong. Leave kids alone. High school kids don’t need to be given yet another lecture.
It's the coach's job to guide the athletes. Most coaches do talk to their athletes before, during, and/or after practice. It's really easy to give a 2 minute speech about how to treat your teammates, how to stay within the rules, and the consequences for not doing so.
