NHSCA Postal Nationals - The Distance Team Championship
The chase begins for the 2013 Postal National Distance Team Championship. This event is a five-man team average of 3200 meter performances ending June 15, 2013. Performances above 4000 ft altitude will receive the NCAA altitude adjustment. The team with the best average in the final release will be awarded the National Coaches Association Track Distance Team Championship.
Postal History: Founded in 1956 by cross country coach Forrest Jamieson the "Postal" concept was presented to Track&FieldNews. Bert & Cordner Nelson seeing the potential of such an event quickly jumped behind the high school coaches idea. The event culminated with a National Championship awarded based upon five man relay teams and published in the Prep Panorama of Track & Field News. The National High School Coaches Association continues this tradition. (Review Postal History 1957-2012)
Criteria: All 3200 meter performances must be attained before June 15, 2013. Boys benchmark is sub 9:40 5-man team average for 3200 meters. Girls benchmark is sub 11:15 5-woman team average for 3200 meters. Times must be attained in the 2012-13 season.
