Northville disqualified from state boys cross country meet over uniform violation

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.
