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 (which wsa) conduted in two
  races with co-champions being declared and duplicate awards presented to the winners of each race."
  (note: the Indianapolis Star reported different numbers with "58 full six-man teams entered and some
  375 boys eligible to partipate"). Only the top 5 individuals and 21 teams in each race are reported
  in the yearbook; the indianapolis Star also reported the scoring runners for the team champions.
