Colorado Track XC is sponsoring a trophy for the top relay team at state in each classfication.
In recognition of each classification's best relay program, Colorado Track XC is awarding a trophy to the school accumulating the most relay points at the state meet. This will be based on a combined total of points from both boys and girls relays.
Should the point total come out to a tie for any classification, the tie will be broken by removing the SMR8 points from the total and comparing totals from the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400, and 4x800.
I will make no attempt to interrupt the CHSAA awards presentation on Saturday afternoon, but I will be looking to get at least as many of the Golden Baton Awards as possible to the winning schools at Jeffco Stadium following the end of competition.
Although Crown Trophy of Boulder is not a sponsor of the trophy, I do want to acknowledge their role in getting these trophies produced. Gary Jaycox of Crown Trophy was very helpful in guiding me through the design and production process. It's been great working with Crown Trophy.
I trust this will be a well-received beginning of a great tradition.
See you at state!
