Ny state meets are considered intersectional championships. It’s the same for every team sport. You could be ranked number 1 in the state if you lose sectionals you don’t move on to compete against the next section. Cross country is the same a every other team sport in nys. For track they approved the super standard for athletes who are in tough sections starting his year. Again - each section gets to be represented at the meet because it is an intersectional championship.
Right...the same "intersectional championship" company line they always use when you call them on this.
In the year I referred to, the #7, #15, #30, #37, #44 and #49 guys at 1600m, all failed to "qualify" for the state meet out of their respective sections qualifiers.
The NY#617 kid at 1600m qualified out of his.
The word "Championship" has no business being in the same sentence with NY state meets.
It's a "field day".
