opportunity to invite you and your team to the first Kentucky-
Indiana Border Clash to be held on August 23, 2011 at Yellow

each otherwe want to have an early season meet to bring them
together for state bragging rights! We feel this meet will be very
competitive and loads of fun for your athletes. We hope that you
will consider participating.

SCORING GUIDELINES
The KY-IN Border Clash will be scored with normal cross-country scoring
to determine an overall team champion. The top five runners from each
team score with the sixth runner to determine any tie-breakers. For the
KY-IN Championship, we will score the top seven runners from each state,
regardless of school affiliation. If there is a tie, the eighth runner from each
state will be used to break the tie.
AWARDS
Medals will be awarded to the top fifteen runners in each race. Plaques will
awarded to the overall champion and team champion. KY-IN Border Clash
State Champion customized t-shirts will be awarded to the top seven
runners from each state used in the team scoring.
TOP RUNNER SINGLETS AND STARTING BOX
As part of each teams entry fee, each of your number one runners will wear
either a red singlet or blue singlet with your school logo on it. Kentucky
runners will wear blue with Indiana wearing red. Each state will have
a Number One Runner starting box. All number one runners will start in
this box separate from their teams. The idea behind this is to allow each
team/states best runners to be honored, visible and start together. NOTE:
all runners are eligible to score for their respective state regardless of
whether they are designated in the Number One Runner singlet or note.
ALL SCHOOLS: Please submit a logo you wish to be used on the singlet,
