1. Please review the uniform and jewelry rules and have your athletes in appropriate uniforms. I recommend bringing extra uniforms in case athletes forget their uniform or any have a mismatched uniform. I also recommend checking uniforms at your conference championship meets to get teams accustomed to being checked. The uniform rule, and all NFHS and NCHSAA rules, will be enforced. It is the coach's responsibility to know and communicate the rules to their athletes, including the uniform rule.

3. State Meet Qualification:
4. The top 25% of teams (minimum of 4 teams qualify) at Regionals and the top 7 individuals not on one of the qualifying teams will qualify for the State XC Meet. The 25% (any fraction .5 or above will be rounded up) will be determined by the number of scoring teams (at least 5 athletes) that start the race. Boys' and girls' teams are considered separately, so 25% of the scoring boys' teams to  start the race and 25% of the scoring girls' teams to start the race will qualify for the State XC Meet. There are 29 schools in the 4A Midwest Regional; so, 29 teams = 8 qualifying teams; 28 teams = 7 qualifying teams.

The qualifiers for the State XC Meet will automatically be entered for the State Meet after the Regional XC Meet. Make sure to check spelling of athletes' names when you enter them on NC MileSplit.If you have any change to team members to run at the State Meet, make sure to contact State meet director with your changes.

Regional T-Shirts will be available for purchase on site. I will have the pricing information in the final email.

There will be a $10 parking fee for spectators at the Midwest Regional.
