Each state has its own method of selecting athletes to participate in the Mid-East Cross Country Championships as determined by that state's cross country coaches association. 

The Mid-East organizing committee only requires that every participant be a high school senior. For instance, Michigan conducts a qualifying run-off the week after its state meet and one week before the Mid-East Cross Country Championships. For information on qualification and selection, please contact your state's head coach for more information.
