As high school cross country has been given the green light to begin competition in the state, the athletic directors and coaches of the six schools in the Citrus Coast League are busy forming a plan to safely stage meets during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re working on it,” said Pat Cooney, the athletic director at league member Carpinteria High. “The CCL is attempting to put together four time trial-type events.”
The proposed format for the competition is to have wave starts, where a single school arrives at the meet venue, warms up, races, cools down and then departs before the next school arrives and goes through the same process.
