Welcome to the 2011 Pacific Association Youth Cross Country Season
From David Bayliss, PA Youth Cross Country Chairman
The 2011 Pacific Association youth cross country season is upon us. As always, Pacific Association clubs will be hosting several regular season meets, from September 25 through November. 6. These meets are designed to provide opportunities for youth athletes to experience the sport and gain experience racing prior to the USATF Junior Olympic Cross Country meets at the end of the season. The Junior Olympic meets start with our own USATF Pacific Association Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Nov. 20 at the Willow Hills Cross Country Course in Folsom, CA, where the top 25 individuals and the top 3 teams per age group, qualify to advance to the USATF Region 14 Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Nov. 27, location TBD. At the Region 14 meet the top 20 individuals and the top 3 teams per age group qualify to advance to the USATF National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Dec. 10 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
For the regular season meets we will once again have a Grand Prix seasonal scoring competition system for boys and girls in each of the Sub-Bantam, Bantam, Midget and Youth age groups. Club members and unattached athletes are equally eligible to participate in this competition. Points will be awarded based upon the athlete’s finishing place in his/her age group. 10 points will be awarded to the first place finisher in each age group, 9 points for second place, 8 points for third place, and so on down to 1 point for tenth place. At the Junior Olympic Association meet, the athletes who have scored the most points in each of the eight age groups will be recognized prior to the course walk and presented with a trophy. Those athletes in each of the eight age groups who have scored the second, third, fourth and fifth most points will also be recognized and receive an award.
Not all of our Pacific Association Youth Clubs are involved in cross country. If your club is not involved in cross country give it a try! If you need help, please contact me. Alternatively, if your club is not involved in cross country, your athletes may legally take part in cross country with another club. Again, please contact me and I can assist you with understanding the rules and the process.
Good luck this season!
