Vermont Championship Entry Forms

Trail Map

Here is information on the 2003 Girls and Boys Cross-Country Championship Event. The meet will be held Saturday, November 1, 2003 at Thetford Academy. Please be sure to read this Guide carefully and thoroughly.

All cross-country coaches are expected to be familiar with the contents of this Guide. Pay particular attention to the rules about Race Formats, about Entries, about Fees, and about Uniforms, because the Committee has many questions each year about these areas of the rules.

Respect For Facilities At Championship Site

Coaches, athletic directors, and administrators are expected to impress on all members of their school communities--including competing athletes, non-competing athletes who accompany the competitors, students (whether they accompany the competitors or not), parents, and other spectators--that the facilities at a host site for a Vermont championship must be respected. All members of each school's community should be given this information before they arrive at the championship site.

Hikers are often admonished, Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but footprints.

That admonition certainly applies to a facility such as the trail at Thetford Academy, which is one of the most picturesque cross-country venues in New England. Thetford Academy has asked that all who come to enjoy its facilities take away nothing but pictures--and pleasant memories of this beautiful trail in the woods. After the competition, nothing should be left but the footprints of earnest athletes who strived to do their best and the footprints of their supporters who came to cheer them on.

All should remember that lack of respect for championship facilities, whether by a school's competitors, or by non-competing supporters from that school, can result in sanctions under the Vermont Principals' Association's rules. Sanctions could include disqualification of students competing on behalf of the member school, other sanctions against the member school, or sanctions against the individuals responsible.

Prohibition Of Raffles

The Vermont Principals' Association prohibits raffles at the Vermont Cross-Country Championship under the provisions of Article I, Section 4, A of its rules.
