1946 IHSAA BOYS STATE XC MEET
Oct. 26 - South Grove Golf Course, Indpls. - 2.0 Miles
                               
 
   
  Meet was by open invitation and, according to the 1946-47 IHSAA Yearbook, "59 schools entered full
  teams and 9 schools entered one or more boys. A total of 477 boys made up othe entry list. The large
  number of entries caused IHSAA officials to change the plans of the meet conducted in two races with
  co-champions being declared and duplicate awards presented to the winners of each race." The 
  Indianapolis Star reported different numbers with "58 full six-man teams entered and some 375 boys
  boy eligible to partipate". Only the top 5 individuals and top 21 of the 29 teams* in each race were
  reported in the IHSAA Yearbook. The Indianapolis Star also reported the overal places for the scoring  
  runners for each team champion as noted below.
