Enter your entire team. If you believe they will be running, enter them. You do not have to identify who is in the Championship or Developmental Races.
ENTRY DEADLINE: Saturday, October 15th at 11:59pm. Please have entries in on time. I need that Friday to prepare the paperwork, stuff envelopes, count out bibs and safety pins, etc. This cannot be done on Monday, since we will be setting up the course that day and night.

Bib Numbers, the Finish Chute and Finish Procedures:
All runners must place their bibs on the front of their singlet.
MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT PIN THE LARGE HOLE IN THE TEAR-OFF TAG!!!
FINISH CARDS: ATHLETES WILL BE HANDED A PLACEMENT CARD AS THEY EXIT THE CHUTE. THE CARDS ARE NOT OFFICIAL. THEY ARE FOR BACK-UP, ONLY. WE ASK THAT EVERY COACH WRITE OUT NAMES AND SCHOOL NAME ON THE BACK OF THE CARDS. BRING THESE TO THE PRESS BOX AT THE CONCLUSION OF EACH RACE.
COY Ballots: Ballots for Coach of the Year have been placed inside your envelope. At the end of the meet, please fill these out and send them up to the press box. Emily Freeman (CF) and Kelsey Stewart (OH) will tally the results inside the press box.
Individual Conference Champion: Remember, we no longer vote for an Athlete of the Year. The individual Conference Champion will receive a plaque.
