If they changed the policy it would have to be for all kids, not just that one. There are others who would make a big impact on their own teams, including a 7th grader on my Blaine Boys team. However, they ran her varsity anyway. Should be interesting to see how this pans out.
It is a shame Coon Rapids would have made it to state...

If the kids are high school eligible, why is the district overriding this?
Actually, the team ran her anyway, even though they didn't change the policy. They still didn't make it to state nor did the 8th grader as an individual.
There are several articles about it from Star Tribune and wcco.com (a couple weeks ago) if you want to find more information, but it is absolutely a shame!
