New Prairie meet implements chip scoring
Posted by: Jim Peters on September 16, 2009 at 2:18AM EST

More than 2,000 runners from more than 100 high schools throughout Indiana and Michigan will compete in the 42nd annual New Prairie Cross Country Invitational Saturday.

With the school's purchase of a chip timing system, those runners will be wearing ankle strap chips for the first time.

Coaches' packets included numbers and chips that will be assigned to runners. Ankle straps will be collected from the runners before they exit the finish chute. Teams failing to return their assigned chips will be assessed a fee.
