From the MHSAA August 2006 Bulletin...

Representative Council Meeting on May 7 -9, 2006...Cross Country/Track & Field section (See MHSAA August 2006 Bulletin, page 15):

 1. Approval of the Cross Country/Track & Field Committee recommendation to alternate the gender for track running events and cross country races based on the calendar year rather than the school year so that girls track & field and cross country events will be run first in odd numbered years and boys track & field and cross country events will be run first in even numbered years.  (Editors Note:  Thus, Boys Cross Country races will be run first during the fall of 2006)
