[quote=Anonymous]I think you're better off emailing your coach or talking to parents who have seen how your coach operates in the past. Each team/coach seems to have its own way of handling meets/attendance expectations/etc.

Our team has cuts, but it is still very large (over 100 total athletes some years). Despite the large size of the team, all athletes get to compete in meets. The weekend invitationals usually have multiple tiers of competition (10 varsity athletes, 10 JV, sometimes 10 freshman or freshman/sophomore as well). For our team, the weekday meets usually only include those that have not recently been in a weekend invitational. Our team also has one or two weekend invitationals at further destinations that only the top 10-15 runners go to.

Runners not competing in our weekday meets generally run a workout before the meet and then are expected to stay to cheer on their teammates. For the weekend invitationals, only the athletes competing need to attend.

I've seen people say on this site that their team has athletes that never compete in meets, but I am not aware of any teams that this is true for. I know of some teams that seem to only compete in weekday meets and run all their athletes there, and many other teams that seem similar to ours with top athletes competing in weekend invitationals and the rest of the team competing in the weekday meets, and a few teams where athletes seem to compete at both the weekday and invitational meets.[/quote]
