MIDSTATE XC ASSOCIATION ALL-MIDSTATE (AMS) TEAMS
The Mid-State
Association each year names an All-Mid-State team for both boys and girls in
both A-AA and AAA classifications. Fifteen
athletes are named to each team on the basis of their composite
performances throughout the season in selected meets.
The
selection of the All-Mid-State team is made on the basis of three times which
are combined into a single composite time for each runner. The three times used
are taken from the following meets:
1)
MID-STATE PRE-SEASON MEET
2)
MID-STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS + 3)TSSAA
STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS*
*Any runner
not competing in the TSSAA State Championships can substitute a time from
either the Tennessee Classic or A.F. Bridges Invitational. In order to be
eligible for the All-Mid-State Teams runners must compete in the MSCCA Pre-Season and Championship meets.
The fifteen runners with the lowest
composite times in each division are named to the All-Mid-State team. In addition,
the runner with the lowest composite time is named Mid-State Most Valuable
Runner.
Coaches
of the Year The
Middle Tennessee Cross Country Association will name a "Coach of the
Year" in both boys and girls divisions. These coaches will be selected by
a committee and honored at the MSCCA banquet at the end of the year.

CROSS COUNTRY ASSOCIATION WEBSITE
Google MSCCA
-Save in your favorites.
The website has become a powerful tool
in quickly communicating information that otherwise would take forever to mail
and forever to write. The purpose of the site is to serve the coaches and
athletes of the association, so if there is any content that you would like to
see added please talk to me or e-mail me and I will get to work on it. Some
aspects of the site to draw your attention to and to ask your assistance with:
-E-MAIL
DIRECTORY: I have launched an online e-mail directory of all the
coaches in the association that have submitted their e-mail addresses to me so
that we can have a central hub and so that we can all communicate with each
other quickly. If you would like to be added to the directory, e-mail me your
request.
-AMS
TEAM STANDINGS: I will post the standings for all four AMS teams
after the preseason meet and unofficially after the championship meet. This is
a very
laborious
task that is subject to error to even a very cautious compiler. It is important
that you browse these if you believe you have an athlete to be in contention
for these teams to make sure that I have not omitted them or miscalculated
their composite times. Any of the AMS qualifying meets that you attend that
require you to handwrite the names of your athletes on bibs or on an envelope,
please print them neatly to help me prevent errors of my
own.
-DRIVING
DIRECTIONS: Coach Evans and I receive many requests each year to
provide directions to parents to travel to the association meets all across
middle
-MEET
RESULTS: Coach Evans and I also receive many requests each
year to post the results for all-comers meets, but rarely do we get all-comers
results submitted to us in any format. All-comers (and invitational) directors,
any electronic format that you would prefer (Word, Excel, HTML, etc.) can be
e-mailed to me and will be posted on the site. I can also post your meet info /
entry forms.
-LINKS: If
anyone has a team website, or your school gives you a link on their homepage
for cross country, I would be glad to post a link to your site from the MSCCA
website. Feel free to send any relevant links regarding cross country or major
meets (Great American, Foot Locker, etc.). Finally, if you have photos online
from association meets, I'd love to have the URL to link too.
Thanks and good luck this
season!
