Jr Olympic Rules Questions. Help Rich!

OOOPS!

You snuck that one in on me! I was looking through my NFHS 2001 book like a madman trying to find that thing!

I'll type out the rules directly from the book for you that I found to have any kind of relevance. If there is anything else in there that even remotely refers to the courtesy runner or who gets credited with anything, I sure can't find it and would greatly appreciate it if you or anyone else finds out anything else.

Personally, I agree with your reference. The CR is a runner and gets the credit, period. but because there really is noting I can find in a rule book or until NFHS answers me, its really tough to deal with.
