Allow Contacts with Junior Prospects

Create an exception to 13.1.1.1 (Time Period for Off-Campus Contacts—General Rule) that would allow contact with Junior prospects at either their educational institution or after competitions.

It would be similar to exceptions created for other sports and would read:

Exception—Cross Country/Track & Field. In Cross Country and Track & Field, off-campus recruiting contacts shall not be made with an individual (or his or her relatives or legal guardians) before September 1 at the beginning of his or her junior year in high school. Contacts that occur during a prospective student-athlete’s junior year may occur only at the prospective student-athlete’s educational institution or after competitions per 13.1.6.2 (no in-home visits).
