When did they start combining Individual and Team race for State XC?

  Just a guess, but maybe early 80's. It's in my State XC program, but, I can't find it at the moment.......................

  Answer from another forum
  
  There was one race from 1928 to 1959. From 1960 to 1984 there were separate races. The current format has been in place since 1985, albeit with some slightly different individual qualifying requirements (individuals in top 12, top 16, etc.).
  
  But I have two new questions. Were the top 25 or 15 from each race considered all-ohioans? So there could be 50 all-ohioans for 1 division? Also, did they have separate races at regionals?
