Rosemount advances to the Class AA True Team State Meet Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the University of Minnesota, starting at 7 p.m.

In the True Team meets, every team member's performance counts toward the team's score.

First place is worth as many points as the number of possible entries in the event. For example: If there are eight teams entered in the meet there is a possible 32 entries per event. Thus making first place worth 32 points, second place worth 31 points etc. etc. Relay points are double the value of individual events.

Each school could enter up to four individuals and four relay teams per event.
