Rules violation prevents Mustangs from going to state finals at MIS
Instead
of competing in the MHSAA Division 1 finals on Nov. 4 at Michigan
International Speedway in Brooklyn, the Northville boys cross country
team will be staying home.
The
Mustangs, who appeared to garner the third and final team qualifying
spot at the Region 6 meet Saturday at New Boston's Willow Metropark,
were disqualified later by meet officials on a violation for not wearing
the same style uniforms. (The rule is in place for teams not to gain a competitive advantage .)
Specifically,
Northville's seven runners were flagged for donning different colored
undergarment sleeves and were informed 90 minutes after the race that
they had been DQ'd.
