Warm Up
Congratulations to teams and individuals who achieved their goals at the state championships on Saturday.

The Start
The Kansas high school cross country season is now complete. Some students may want to compete in meets around the region which is permissible as long as schools have no part in transportation, coaching, financing or facilitating the participation. This includes wearing school issued jerseys in those races. Below are some FAQs from this time of year regarding events sponsored by other parties:

  1. What dollar amount of product can be kept by the athletes?
    1. None – if the participant choses to keep the items they must pay market value for those items.
  2. Whether athlete airfare, hotel and meals can be paid for by the event/sponsor/company?
    1. Actual costs are permissible. No excess money can be retained by the student athlete.
  3. What dollar amount of product can be kept by the athletes?
    1. None – if the participant choses to keep the items they must pay market value for those items.
  4. Whether Team Chaperone airfare, hotel and meals can be paid for by the meet/sponsor/company?
    1. The KSHSAA rules would permit a team chaperone to have these items paid for by meet/sponsor/company.
    2. A school coach cannot coach their athlete during the school year outside the season of sport, they may watch them participate, but not coach.
    3. A parent may coach their child at any time.
  5. Whether athlete’s and coach’s images can be used on meet/sponsor/company’s and its affiiliates’ and partners’ social media channels, event recap videos and/or other event related media outlets during and after the event. Please confirm that solely portraying athlete’s participation in this event, does not violate any state association rules that would jeopardize athlete’s eligibility in the upcoming athletic season.
    1. This is permitted provided no compensation is paid to the athlete or coach.
