PLAYOFF FORMAT
Students from all schools within the NWHSAA may compete directly to the NWHSAA championship.
All runners are entered into the individual competition.
SCHOOL TEAM COMPETITION
A school must have a minimum of 4 competitors to qualify for the team competition.
TEAM SCORING
The top 4 finishers from each school will be used to calculate the total points for the team category. The top 4 participants will be selected from any of the 10 age categories.
ADVANCEMENT TO PROVINCIALS
The top 10 finishers in the Intermediate, Junior and Senior categories can compete at the SHSAA Provincial Championship.
If a school has only 3 members attending the SHSAA Provincial Championship, a 4th member from that school would be allowed to compete for that school’s team provided the runner took part in the NWHSAA District Championship. This would allow for more than 10 participants in a category.
