KSHSAATOPEKA, Kan - The KSHSAA will utilize three sites for state
cross country meets to be held on Saturday, October 31, includ­ing two new
championship venues.&nbsp; Consistent with
risk mitigation efforts, a third site was added to reduce the number of runners
at each venue and allow for more time between races. The Class 6A and 5A state meet will be held at 4 Mile Creek
Resort in Augusta.&nbsp; Andover High School
will be the host with Wichita State University supporting the effort with
course preparation.&nbsp; WSU is very familiar
with this course, as the 4 Mile Creek Resort (formerly known as RAFT) is the
home course for the Shockers. Once again, Wamego will welcome championship racing.&nbsp; The Class 4A and 3A state meet will be held
at Wamego Country Club and be hosted by Wamego High School.&nbsp;The Class 2A and 1A
state meet will be held at Sand Plum Nature Trail in Victoria.&nbsp; Victoria High School will serve as the member
school host and will be supported by the athletic department of Fort Hays State
Uni­versity for this championship event.For the first time since 1992, Rim Rock Farm is not
available as one of our championship sites as the University of Kansas has
notified the KSHSAA that the venue is not open for high school events this
fall.&nbsp; Regionals will be held on Saturday, October 24 at sites that
will soon be finalized.&nbsp; Class 4A, 5A, 6A
will have four regional sites of eight or nine assigned schools.&nbsp; Class 2A and 3A will have 6 regional sites of
10 or 11 schools assigned.&nbsp; Class 1A will
have three regional sites.“The health and safety of our students continues to be the
most important factor in the changes we have im­plemented with postseason
competitions and we are pleased to expand to another venue for these
champion­ship meets” said Bill Faflick, KSHSAA Executive Director.&nbsp; “Certainly, we are fortunate to have quality
courses and dedicated hosts to provide the best experience possible for our
student-athletes.”
