Hello Coaches! 

We will be hosting our home meet on Tuesday, September 3rd!  This meet will kickoff the 2024 cross country season and were excited to host you and your teams!

Buses and Spectator Parking- Parking for buses and spectators will be in the gravel lot where you pull in. 

Schedule

  • 3:30-4:00pm - Team check in, pick up packets at the finish line scoring table

  • We will have a brief coaches meeting at 4:00 at the scoring table next to the finish line. 

  • 4:30pm = Start of Boys Race

  • 5:00pm = Start of Girls Race 

  • Awards immediately after the finish of Girl's Race 

Team Packets

- Team packets can be picked up near the finish line at the scoring table. We will have separate packets for both boys and girls. The packet will include a course map, pencil, and team scoring sheet.

 

- We ask that you fill out the team scoring paper NEATLY. 

- Then, please put your athletes first and last name and school NEATLY on the back of the finish line placement cards. 

- The cards should go numerically in order in the packet folder and be returned as quickly as possible to the scoring table at the end of each race.  The quicker you turn in your packets, the quicker we can score. 

Bathrooms - Bathrooms are located beside the MMS gymnasium in our new multi-fitness room (you cant miss it!).  Please ensure that your athletes keep the bathrooms clean and orderly.

Tents - Tents and team "home bases should be set up near the finish line. This is where our scoring table will be and where we will do awards after the girls race.

Trash - We will have trash bags for your team if you need one. There are also trash cans around the facility. Please pick up all of your team trash and leave the area better than you found it. 

Course - The course map is attached below.  Due to construction on our track, the course has changed from last year, with a few slight rolling hills, and consists of one large loop and then a smaller loop.  We will have a gator ATV leading the way. 

Awards -  Awards will follow the girls race, as soon as we can get the scoring completed. We have medals for the top girls and top boys, as well as the overall top teams. 

Athletic Trainer - Our Athletic Trainer, Justin Byland, will be there to assist if any runner needs medical assistance. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you are running late to our meet for any reason.  My personal cell phone is (828) 371-2241.  

Thank you!
