PACKET INSTRUCTIONS FOR COACHES

…Have your runners attach enclosed tag with their name on it to the back left shoulder area of their jersey. Make sure the pin has been put through the proper place on the tag.

…Remind your runners not to leave the chute until someone has taken their tag and they received a numbered card. 

…The cards are a back-up.  Please write the athletes name on the card and place it in the envelope.  For the varsity race, please fill out the front of the envelope as well.  This provides us with a quick double-check.  Take the envelopes to the scoring table.

…Please ask your athletes to stay away from the scoring area until all results have been posted.  Congestion at the scoreboard will slow down results.

…Awards will be presented shortly after the completion of the boys’ varsity race.  There are medals to the top 15 varsity runners and the top 10 in each JV  race.  There are also medals for the member of the winning team of each varsity race. 

…Full results will be available after the awards presentation and online at this website.

…There will be course judges out on the course at the turns.  Runners will be disqualified for cutting.

…Boys JV and Girls JV will run at the same time.

…Please instruct your athletes to use the porta-pots found outside near the finish line. 

…For 6th, 7th, and 8th grade race you will have to copy your own results.  Participation ribbons will be given.
