We must keep in mind that for any team that goes beyond Sectional Level Competition, we must stay with the established framework of classes as follows:
If a combined school team goes beyond Sectional Level Competition, their boys and girls; grades 9,10, and 11 plus upgraded enrollment shall be combined for State Level Competition. This report will be in effect for one (1) year only.
“AA” – 950 and up; “A” – 550-949; “B” – 325-549; “C” – 193-324; “D” – 1-192

Letter of Intent Procedures
The following procedure regarding letters of intent for Sectional Competition was approved by the Section II Athletic Council on
June 8, 1988, and will go into effect on July 1, 1988.
A Letter of Intent
Shall be a standard letter for all sports.
The standard Letter of Intent shall be included annually in the Section II directory. It shall be the responsibility of each school’s Athletic Director to make copies of this form and send it to the appropriate sports chairpersons by the designated due dates. A list of sports chairpersons, addresses, and due dates for each sport shall be included in the directory.
It will be required that all schools send the Letter of Intent by the required due date in order to be eligible to participate in the Sectional Tournament.
The required due date for each sport should be no earlier than three (3) weeks prior to the beginning of the Sectionals in that sport. The sport chairperson shall set the due date. A five-day grace period should be built in for follow-up by league sports chairpersons.
A school that has submitted a Letter of Intent may choose to withdraw from the Sectional Tournament.
1. For sports for which pairings are established; upon notification of the sports chairperson or league representative, by the principal or athletic director at least 48 ours prior to the seeding meeting for that sport.
2. For sports which no pairings are established; upon notification of the sports chairperson or league representative, by the principal or athletic director at least 48 hours prior to the start of Sectional Competition in that sport.
If a school attempts to withdraw from the Sectional Tournament subsequent to these deadlines, the sports chairperson or his representative shall notify the principal of the offending school and warn of probable sanction.
Penalties for Withdrawal from a tournament subsequent to the seeding meeting or 48 hour deadline, unless extreme extenuating circumstance can be demonstrated such as team training rule violations, team sickness, act of God or other emergency.
First Offense in a sport: $250 fine levied against the school, payable to Section II. Second Offense in a sport (or failure to pay fine): Ineligible to participate in the Sectionals for that sport for the following year
17
Intent to Continue in the Tournament
Any school that commits itself to the Sectional Tournament implies that it will continue in the tournament until the school is eliminated. This includes the Regionals and State Tournament to conclusion.
Failure to abide by the above will result in that school forfeiting its right to participate in the Section II Tournament in that activity for the following year and a $250 fine payable to Section II.
A. Enforcement
Upon the recommendation of the sports chairperson, the president of Section II shall notify the officials of the offending school of the sanctions imposed in accordance with these regulations.
B. Board of Inquiry
Any school wishing to question any penalties assessed according to these regulations should address a letter to the president of Section II. A Board of Inquiry will be appointed by the president consisting of:
1. Section II President
2. Sport Chairperson involved
3. League President of the school involved (unless connected with the protesting school, then alternate should be appointed)
4. Two at-large members from the Athletic Council
The Board of Inquiry may uphold the penalty as assessed or overturn the penalty.

Modified Athletes – High School Athletes
25
All cross country coaches should familiarize themselves with the NYSPHSAA rules regarding “Modified Athletes”, their promotion to high school teams and the conducting of modified meets, which appear in the state handbook.
The following are the rules that govern the use of “Modified Athletes” in Cross Country.
1. A school may have a Modified team, considered a lower level team, which consists of athletes in grades 7-8-9 and which competes only against other lower level teams. It may also have a freshman team, which is considered an upper level team and competes against only upper level teams. If you have both teams, you may not move athletes back and forth between the two programs, not the 7th graders, not the 8th graders and not the 9th graders.
*** A team, or any of its members may not run in a modified meet during the week, in a freshmen race on Saturday and then return to a modified meet the next week. They may not run in a freshmen race during the week, a modified race on Saturday and return to a freshmen race the next week.
2. A school may have a Modified team, considered a lower level team, which consists of athletes in grades 7-8 and which competes only against other lower level teams and a freshmen team, which is considered an upper level team and is made up of athletes in grades 7-8-9. The 7th and 8th graders running on the freshmen team must all have been “Selectively Classified” to be eligible to run on this freshmen team and once they run on this upper level team may not return to lower level competition.
*** A 7th grader running on a freshmen team or higher (JV/Varsity) may not return to a modified race at any time. He or she is considered an upper level athlete and may not return to lower level competition. Once you bring the athlete up to the upper level program, you forfeit the athletes right to compete at the lower level, even though it would be against athletes in the same grade in school.
3. Promotion of athletes:
a. An athlete running on a modified team may be promoted to the freshmen team as long as half of his modified teams season has not been completed. If the athlete is a 7th or 8th grader he or she must be “Selectively Classified” in order to be promoted.
b. A “Selective Classified” athlete may only run at the level approved for. An athlete running on a freshmen team must be reclassified if he or she is to be promoted to a J.V. or Varsity team.
26

*With your site administrator, set up a plan for shelter prior to the start of any contest.
2. When thunder is heard and/or when lightning is seen, the following procedures should be adhered to:

There are no excuses for heatstroke illnesses, if proper precautions are taken.-During hot weather athletes should be gradually acclimatized to higher temperatures.-Water should be available in unlimited quantities at all practices and contests.-In extremely hot & humid weather reduce the amount of clothing covering the body.-Check athlete weight daily: generally 3% weight loss through sweating is safe,over a 3% weight loss the athlete should not be allowed to practice in hot & humid conditions.-Observe your athletes carefully for signs of trouble.-Know what to do in case of an emergency and have emergency plans written for your staff.-Drink before, during and after practices and games.-Drink early - by the time you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated.-Dehydration usually occurs with a weight loss of 2 percent of body weight or more.-Within 2 hours, drink enough to replace any weight loss from exercise.-Salt should never be added to drinks, and salt tablets should be avoided.-Cool beverages at temperatures between 50-59 degrees Fahrenheit are recommended.

Heat Stress and Athletic Participation
Early fall football, cross country, soccer and field hockey practices are conducted in very hot and humid weather in many parts of the United States. Due to the equipment and uniform needed in football, most of the heat problems have been associated with football. From 1995 through the 2005 football season there have been 19 high school heat stroke deaths in football. This is not acceptable. There are no excuses for heatstroke deaths, if the proper precautions are taken. During hot weather conditions the athlete is subject to the following:
HEAT CRAMPS – Painful cramps involving abdominal muscles and extremities caused by intense, prolonged exercise in the heat and depletion of salt and water due to profuse sweating.
HEAT SYNCOPE – Weakness fatigue and fainting due to loss of salt and water in sweat and exercise in the heat. Predisposes to heat stroke.
HEAT EXHAUSTION (WATER DEPLETION) – Excessive weight loss, reduced sweating, elevated skin and core body temperature, excessive thirst, weakness, headache and sometimes unconsciousness. HEAT EXHAUSTION (SALT DEPLETION) – Exhaustion, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and dizziness due to profuse sweating and inadequate replacement of body salts.
HEAT STROKE – An acute medical emergency related to thermoregulatory failure. Associated with nausea, seizures, disorientation, and possible unconsciousness or coma. It may occur suddenly without being preceded by any other clinical signs. The individual is usually unconscious with a high body temperature and a hot dry skin (heat stroke victims, contrary to popular belief, may sweat profusely).
It is believed that the above-mentioned heat stress problems can be controlled provided certain precautions are taken. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Sports Medicine, heat related illnesses are all preventable. (Sports Medicine: Health Care for Young Athletes, American Academy of Pediatrics, July 2000). The following practices and precautions are recommended:
1. Each athlete should have a physical examination with a medical history when first entering a program and an annual health history update. History of previous heat illness and type of training activities before organized practice begins should be included. State High School Associations recommendations should be followed.
2. It is clear that top physical performance can only be achieved by an athlete who is in top physical condition. Lack of physical fitness impairs the performance of an athlete who participates in high temperatures. Coaches should know the PHYSICAL CONDITION of their athletes and set practice schedules accordingly.
3. Along with physical conditioning the factor of acclimatization to heat is important. Acclimatization is the process of becoming adjusted to heat and it is essential to provide for GRADUAL ACCLIMATIZATION TO HOT WEATHER. It is necessary for an athlete to exercise in the heat if he/she is to become acclimatized to it. It is suggested that a graduated physical conditioning program be used and that 80% acclimatization can be expected to occur after the first 7-10 days. Final stages of acclimatization to heat are marked by increased sweating and reduced salt concentration in the sweat.
4. The old idea that water should be withheld from athletes during workouts has NO SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION. The most important safeguard to the health of the athlete is the replacement of water. Water must be on the field and readily available to the athletes at all times. It is recommended that a minimum 10-minute water break be scheduled for every twenty minutes of heavy exercise in the heat. Athletes should rest in a shaded area during the break. WATER SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN UNLIMITED QUANTITIES.
5. Check and be sure athletes are drinking the water. Replacement by thirst alone is inadequate. Test the air prior to practice or game using a wet bulb, globe, temperature index (WBGT index) which is based on the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat and air movement. The following precautions are recommended when using
29
the WBGT Index: (ACSM's Guidelines for the Team Physician, 1991)
Below 65 – Unlimited activity65-73– Moderate risk73-82 – High risk82 plus – Very high risk
6. An alternative method for assessing heat and humidity is the weather guide or heat index. Refer to the Sports Medicine Handbook section on heat related illness published by the NFHS. Figure I is an example of a heat-humidity index table that defines low, moderate, high, and extreme risk zones.
7. Cooling by evaporation is proportional to the area of the skin exposed. In extremely hot and humid weather reduce the amount of clothing covering the body as much as possible. NEVER USE RUBBERIZED CLOTHING.
8. Athletes should weigh each day before and after practice and WEIGHT CHARTS CHECKED. Generally a 3 percent weight loss through sweating is safe and over a 3 percent weight loss is in the danger zone. Over a 3 percent weight loss the athlete should not be allowed to practice in hot and humid conditions. Observe the athletes closely under all conditions. Do not allow athletes to practice until they have adequately replaced their weight.
9. Observe athletes carefully for signs of trouble, particularly athletes who lose significant weight and the eager athlete who constantly competes at his/her capacity. Some trouble signs are nausea, incoherence, fatigue, weakness, vomiting, cramps, weak rapid pulse, visual disturbance and unsteadiness.
10. Teams that encounter hot weather during the season through travel or following an unseasonably cool period should be physically fit but will not be environmentally fit. Coaches in this situation should follow the above recommendations and substitute more frequently during games.
11. Know what to do in case of an emergency and have your emergency plans written with copies to all your staff. Be familiar with immediate first aid practice and prearranged procedures for obtaining medical care, including ambulance service.
12. Warn your athletes about the use of any products that contain ephedra. Ephedra has been associated with two heat stroke deaths in athletes. Ephedra speeds metabolism and increases body heat, constricts the blood vessels in the skin preventing the body from cooling itself, and by making the user feel more energetic it keeps him/her exercising longer when they should stop. Do not use ephedra or ephedra products.
HEAT STROKE – THIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY – DELAY COULD BE FATAL. Immediately cool body while waiting for transfer to a hospital. Remove clothing and immerse torso in ice/cold water. Immersion therapy has the best cooling rates. A plastic baby pool can be available at all practices and games, and can always be ready for immersion procedures. If not available apply ice packs in armpits, groin and neck areas. Continue cooling efforts until EMS arrives.
HEAT EXHAUSTION – OBTAIN MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. Cool body as you would for heat stroke while waiting for transfer to hospital. Give fluids if athlete is able to swallow and is conscious.
SUMMARY – The main problem associated with exercising in the hot weather is water loss through sweating. Water loss is best replaced by allowing the athlete unrestricted access to water. Water breaks two or three times every hour are better than one break an hour. Probably the best method is to have water available at all times and to allow the athlete to drink water whenever he/she needs it. Never restrict the amount of water an athlete drinks, and be sure the athletes are drinking the water. The small amount of salt lost in sweat is adequately replaced by salting food at meals. Talk to your medical personnel concerning emergency treatment plans.

2006 NYSPHSAA X-C State Meet Course Synopsis @ Warwick
* You will notice at the end of most video segments a pole on the left hand side of the course. They are distance indicators and the course has these marks at 400m, 800m, 1000m, 1200m, 1 mile, 1 ¼, 1 ½, 2 mile. Spikes are recommended for the course as it is run entirely on grass. Spike length is of your discretion.
Start to 400M: The start of the race goes about 250 meters before narrowing into roughly 20 foot path and weaving for about 75 meters as you pass the 400 meter mark. This portion has a slight up and slight down but is mostly flat.
400m - 800m: From 400m to 650m there is a slight incline which is hardly noticeable. From 650m to 800m you will face some uneven surface running with a fast short down hill that will lead you into a steep 25-meter hill approaching the 800-meter mark.
800m - 1200m: This part of the course is extremely fast as you hit a steady down hill going past the 1000-meter mark before making a right hand turn into roughly a 75-eter hill before leveling out into the 1200m mark. Here you will be running “pumped up” as you funnel past thousands of screaming spectators and fans.
1200m - 1600m: Here again, the course will be lined with spectators. This section of the course is flat for about 200 meters before hitting a steep down hill and a left hand turn into the mile mark (the lowest elevation on the course). This part of the course is fast! Enjoy it because it is here that you will begin to work the most difficult part of the course.
1600m - 2000m: This segment of the course is a weaving steady rolling uphill climb that ends just as you will begin yet another gradual incline. If there has been rain, expect this part of the course to be the sloppiest.
2000m - 2400m: This part of the course is a steady uphill climb and the farthest part from the start/finish lines so expect it to be lonely out here. You are continuing to run on a 20-foot wide path with a cow field and stream on your left hand side.
2400m - 2800m: This segment will end your uphill climb which has now gone on for about 1200 meters. This part of the course is not at its highest point. You will see a pole at the end of the segment, which you will make a hairpin turn and head for the corner of the soccer field. Remember what goes up, must come down!
2800m - 3200m: Perhaps the fastest part of the course, you will cruise downhill into the 2 mile mark. It is also at this part of the race where the soccer field fence should be lined with spectators; coaches and fans cheering you on as you hit a steep downhill section.
3200m - 3800m: Now you are back on the section of the course that you have already run as it for the most part copies its way back to the finish line. From about 3400 meters on you will have spectators; coaches and fans lining the entire course as you make your way back to the finish. At roughly 3600m you will hit a steep 50-meter uphill climb before leveling out to the end of the video segment.
3800m - 4200m: You can smell the finish, and your legs will turn over rapidly down a semi-steep 75-meter hill before turning left into a gradual uphill climb which due to adrenaline and carry over from the downhill decent you will barely notice.
39
4200m - 4600m: 800 meters to go in the race. You will start with a steep 25-meter downhill into the uneven surfaced running before bearing to your left at which point you will enter the “S Curve” finish segment. You will notice on the right hand side the 400m-600m segment which you ran in the beginning. This finish segment was designed to allow for other races to start even if there are remaining runners on the course. This is a new cut out and footing is a bit uneven and being worked on at this time.
4600m - Finish: A fast lane 400 meters and mostly straight. You will have a slight downhill into the finish line. Congratulations you made it.
Special thanks to Coach Jack Mager of Newburgh Free Academy for taking his time to make the video and upload it to the Section 9 website and unofficial site of the 2006 NYSPHSAA S-C State Championships.

Cross Country Federation Selection Process, Updated 8/20/04 No process is perfect. However, the intent of the enclosed Federation Selection Procedure is to design a process that provides specific guidelines and consistency in the selection process from year to year. In an effort to allow all teams that are being considered for advancement to the Federation Meet to be judged on related data, information should be gathered for each team from Invitational and quality dual meets that have taken place during the last six weeks of the season. Information presented prior to the McQuaid Invitational cannot be used in any decision making process. The following data is recommended to allow for comparisons between teams:
1. The Individual Winning Time and Distance of each race. 2. Team Scores. 3. The Number of Runners in each race. 4. The times of the winning teams 1st through 5th Runner, Cumulative Team Time for 1st through 5th
Runner, and Team Average Time for 1st through 5th Runner. 5. The times of the petitioning teams 1st through 5th Runner, Cumulative Team Time for 1st through
5th Runner, and Team Average Time for 1st through 5th Runner. 6. The times of any potential at-large teams 1st through 5th Runner, Cumulative Team Time for 1st
through 5th Runner, and Team Average Time for 1st through 5th Runner.
(See the Excel Federation Comparison Chart for a Working Document to organize this data.) Team Selection Procedures
1. Friday before the State Meet, the Boys’ and Girls’ Cross Country Coordinators shall meet and rank the teams that are not participating in the state meet and could be considered for an at-large bid. These teams should be ranked based upon the information received from the committee and each teams respective Section Coordinator. The Federation Comparison Chart is recommended as a guideline for this process. After discussion and ranking, not to exceed 15 minutes, a majority vote is taken to finalize the ranking of these teams. If a majority is reached from the committee the ranking is finalized. If a majority is not reached, additional discussion and voting continues until a majority is reached.
2. After the completion of the entire State Meet, both the Boys’ and Girls’ Federation Committees
will meet in separate rooms to make the Federation selections. Data that can be used to make the selections for teams advancing to the Federation Meet is the rankings of at-large teams from Friday’s meeting, Merged Results (Including the Team Cumulative Times and Average Times for 1st through 5th Runner), the Individual Class Results from the NYSPHSAA State Meet and any information from the Federation Comparison Charts obtained from the past six weeks.
NOTE: If a team that participates in the NYSPHSAA State Meet wins head to head in its Class but loses to that team in the merge, the Teams Cumulative Time of the 1st through 5th Runner should take precedence in order to determine the better team.
43
3. A Team that participates in the NYSPHSAA State Meet and finishes as one of the top 5 teams in
the Merged Results will automatically advance to the Federation Meet. If any of these five teams fail to accept the advancement, the committee cannot automatically accept the 6th spot. (Maximum of 5 Teams can be selected after this Step).
4. The Winning Team from each Class at the NYSPHSAA State Meet will automatically advance
to the Federation Meet if they finish between 6th or 10th place. If any of these teams fail to accept the advancement, the committee cannot offer the position to the second place team in that class. (Maximum of 9 Teams could be selected after this Step).
5. The Teams that are remaining from the NYSPHSAA State Meet that remaining in the merge
should be re-ranked based upon the Teams Cumulative Time of their 1st through 5th Runner from the NYSPHSAA State Meet Results. Discussion (Maximum of five minutes) should take place regarding the fairness of this ranking and adjustments may be made. After discussion, a majority vote is taken to finalize the ranking of these teams. If a majority is reached from the committee the ranking is finalized. If a majority is not reached another five minutes of discussion is allowed. If a majority cannot be reached at this time, then the teams stay ranked based upon their cumulative time.
6. At-large bids are considered at this point. The remaining ranked teams from the NYSPHSAA
State Meet are compared to the Top Teams from the At-Large Ranking that was voted on at Friday’s meeting. Discussion is allowed for three minutes and a majority vote is then taken to determine which of the two teams advances to the Federation Meet. This process continues until 13 teams have been selected to the Federation Meet.
7. At this point, Section Coordinators are asked to remove any team from their respective section
that is not deserving of one of the three final spots. Five minutes of discussion is allowed on the remaining teams and then a vote is initiated. Each Section votes for three teams and ranks them in order 1st, 2nd, 3rd. When tallying the votes, 1st Place Teams earn 5 points, 2nd place Teams earn 3 Points and 3rd place Teams earn 1 point. The three teams with the most points will advance to the Federation Meet. If there is a tie that prevents the advancement of a third team, then a majority vote is taken to break that tie.
Individual Selection Process After all the teams have been removed from the merge of the NYSPHSAA State Meet the first 18 individuals will advance to the state meet. After these individuals are selected, each Section Coordinator selects two additional individuals from their respective section.

PARKING: Early arrivals will be parked at the top of the park. Late arrivals might be placed down the road or at the Railroad station. Large buses will be parked on the lower part of the park on a first come basis.
SPECTATOR SPORTSMANSHIP: All spectators must respect the running lanes and the restraining lines setup at the start and finish area. The safety and needs of the athletes must be respected. We have opened up the course so spectators can see more-but if safety is a factor we will return to a more secure course.
NUMBER PICKUP/INFORMATION: Packets are available on Friday at the course from 1:00PM until 4:00PM. It is unsafe-dark- around 4PM, so plan accordingly. Saturday pickup is from 9:30AM until 11:00 AM. Programs and souvenirs shirts will be sold, and a snack bar will be open on Saturday. For information, contact Bob Baratta; 631-666-8490 or Email [email protected]
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WILL BE NECESSARY WITH THE USE OF THE CHIP TIMING SYSTEM:
All athletes will receive a bib number, a hip number left and right hip, and two chips. The chips must be securely attached to each running shoe. Make sure the chip number matches the competitors bib number. Bib Numbers will be worn on the front, running jersey. Hip numbers will also be worn on each side.
The numbers for all athletes run consecutively. Numbers 1 to 299 will be for girls, and from 301 to 600 for boys.
The primary timing system will be a combination of the chip system and a FinishLynx photo-finish system. FinishLynx will be used to break close finishes. We will not chute the runners – BUT RUNNERS MUST BE COACHED TO CONTINUE RUNNING PAST THE TWO MATS AT THE FINISH, AND GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE FINISH AREA. WE CAN NOT HAVE A BACKUP AT THE MAT/FINISH AREA.
The finish area will be fenced off and a crew will collect the chips from each runner before they leave the area. This is very important because we must pay for lost chips. This can be done quickly if all athletes are aware that they must help make this efficient.
It is important to coach runners to cross the finish line and get out of the way, off to the sides and the back as quickly as possible. We will provide assistance.
The finish Lynx system is a great backup, and we also will have a video backup.
Program ad forms are available on Armory Track. All monies from program ads and sales are put back into the meet. We have upgraded the meet every year and your continued support is very important. Also, coaches are reminded to provide all information on the entry page. Coaches are also asked to inform their spectators of the parking procedures, spectator areas and responsibilities. This highly competitive and important race requires the cooperation of everyone.
We provide medical coverage including an ambulance, EMT’S and AEDs on Saturday only!
