KHB I'm totally unfamiliar with the cross country scene hope this doesn't sound stupid but why would they not be allowed to attend?

Good question. At this point--there hasn't been a clear answer.

This is getting to be interesting. It is EXTREMELY hard for a team to make the Nike Team Nationals (16 teams in the country make it--that is it).

The logic is flawed. Since cross country is officially "over", St X can not be coached by their coach and they can not "officially" represent their school. All of those things have been cared for (according to St. X). Word on the street is that they feel like they are being targeted by the KHSAA because they are a private school.

I get the feeling that this one will get really ugly.

Time will tell if these things are related. But it is hard to think that they are not.
