The state cross country championships on Nov. 28 at Woodward Park in Fresno will use a Chip Timing system for the first time.

It requires athletes to wear a small chip on the shoelace or on an ankle bracelet. The chip helps identify runners at strategically placed electronic mats on the course.

A sponsorship by Nike made possible use of the Chip Timing system.
