[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 14507943, member: 55701"] At my old high school, you would not be eligible. My brother runs for my old team (he is 19) and is only allowed to participate (he was held back because he is developmentally disabled) because the times he runs are slow enough that he rarely if ever impact the scoring and therefore is one of the 75% of kids in dual meets who are essentially there running competition just to beat their own previous records. In XC/Winter/Spring track here in Central NJ, 18 is the cutoff. Obviously there is a rare exception for birthday issues, etc. but the rules are in place to prevent something like this from happening. Also, in invitationals (large weekend multiple team meets) there is Varsity, JV, and Freshmen races (freshmen usually run a shorter race than the JV/Varsity 5K). Freshmen can only run in freshmen races, regardless of times. Sophmores and juniors can run JV and may be moved up to varsity if they qualify by times or the team needs them to (you must field 5 runners to officially score as a team). Seniors may only run Varsity, regardless of times. This keeps upper classmen from being dropped down into a freshmen race to stack a team or freshmen from being run too hard too early and burning out. [/QUOTE]
