What if the WIAA seeded cross country like the way the NCAA seeds men's and women's basketball?
First, seed the schools based on my rankings on another page.  Distribute geographical assignments based on seeds.
Seeding the schools:												Pod #1			Pod #2
Constraint #1: assume both genders from a school are required to compete at the same location.											1	Onalaska		3	Stevens Point
Constraint #2: reasonable travel distances.											4	Menomonie		17	Green Bay Preble
If one gender from a school is Top 20, but the other gender isn't Top 20, then factor just the one gender.											21	DeForest		26	Kimberly
If both genders from a school are Top 20, take an average.											44	Hudson		33	Wisconsin Rapids
If one gender from a school is 21-40, but the other gender isn't, then factor just the one gender.												fill with 8 regional schools			fill with 8 regional schools
If both genders from a school are 21-40, take an average.
