XC PE Credit and Letter Requirements

Issaquah Cross Country 2019

PE CREDIT

• ELIGIBILITY: Any athlete that earns a Varsity or JV Letter as outlined below will be eligible for PE credit.

• ATTENDANCE: Attend and participate in practices in their entirety. No more than 8 absences of ANY KIND whether excused or unexcused. Missing part of a practice jamboree or non- invitational meet count as absences. VERY IMPORTANT: ABSENCES FOR PE CREDIT PURPOSES BEGIN COUNTING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEASON (Monday, August 26, 2019) REGARDLESS OF WHEN AN ATHLETE BEGINS PARTICIPATING. (I.E. – If you do not turnout for practice until the second week, you have already tallied 5 absences.)

• COMPLETE THE SEASON: Attend and compete in all regular season league meets you are eligible for. Completing the season means that the athlete competes in the last meet they are eligible to compete in. Most athletes will complete their season on Saturday, October 26th at the Sub-Varsity Invitational held at Lake Sammamish State Park. You must be in good standing on the team.
