Who Competes?

All runners have a chance to compete.  At Donegal we do not make any cuts.  Varsity is considered each teams top 8 runners.*  Junior Varsity is all other high school runners.  Junior High is any runners that are in grades 7-9.  9^th graders may also compete at the Varsity level.  It is the decision of the coach, school, and parents, and that runner.
*In some invitationals and at districts and states Varsity is top 7 runners.
