Reply to "Measuring State HS Course"

genenewmanRRTC Chairman

Lyman, in view we shouldn't certify XC courses. In almost all cases they rarely follow a defined path. GPS coordinates aren't acceptable for location of a permanent mark. Again, do you really think the race would place everything as it was described?

I believe we discussed this at one of our meetings and decided not to attemp a certification of a XC course. I will bring this up again at this years meeting.

My suggestion is simple: measure as we would for certification. Hence, the XC course can state this course was measured according to USATF guidelines. However, it can't be certified because of too many variables.

Jim, as stated he is going to certify this. First, I haven't seen anything on it. If I do, then Iwould run this by the council for final approval.
