2024 Tri-Divisionals

 

The Tri-Divisional Championships are a second-tier championship comprised of athletes from IMD, Alaska and Northern Divisions. [1] The Alaska Division’s role for Tri-Divisional Championships is to facilitate the selection boards for the quota for this event and to provide race entries and coaching staff.   All athletes will travel independently, and this trip will be treated as a day camp style.  The team will be named after the U16 WR Championship and U14 WR Championship Alaska Team has been named and planned, and will use the same selection boards.  Athletes will be responsible for covering all of the coaches travel costs, entry fees, lift tickets and their own travel arrangements.

Because this event is not part of the Western Region Championship series, and in keeping with IMD and Northern Division policy, the Alaska Division will not participate in providing a team jacket.  However, the Division will provide a souvenir item (Buff, Hat, Hoody, or something of similar price point) for all athletes and coaches.  If parents of the traveling athletes would like to independently procure and outfit the team, they may do so, but it will be without the involvement of the travel coaches or Divisional administration.
