Meet Information


Final Update 9/8/23: Coaches, I have been refreshing various weather apps for the better part of the past 2 days and things are looking promising for tomorrow at the moment. We will have some rain/storms overnight but it looks like we will have a good window to run in the morning as storms for our area are not forecasted to come in until Saturday afternoon. So, unless anything drastic changes between now and tomorrow morning, we plan on moving ahead with the meet. We may have a bit of rain, but we are not worried about that as we will run if it is raining. However, we are planning on making some slight changes to the meet schedule to allow varsity to be able to run on a "fresher" course and to allow us some flexibility with running the JV races. Please see the updated schedule below.

9:00: Boys Varsity
9:30: Girls Varsity
10:00: Girls JV
10:45: Boys JV (if weather becomes an issue we can start the JV boys earlier)
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks.

Weather update 9/7/23: Coaches, I know there is some concern about the weather on Saturday. We are optimistic that we will be able to get the meet in but we will continue to monitor the weather forecast to be sure. If we need to make any changes or adjustments, we will let you all know tomorrow by early afternoon so you can communicate any changes with your team. Just to give you an idea of what we are thinking, we will go ahead with the meet if we are just dealing with rain. Obviously, if the chance of lightning increases dramatically, we may have to make some adjustments. We will keep you posted through email and on Milesplit. Thanks.

Update 8/28/23: we are currently at capacity for our facility so, unfortunately, we are not accepting additional teams at this time. For teams who are already entered, just a reminder that you have until 9pm on the 6th to finalize your entries. If you are unable to edit your entries due to being asked for a password, please let me know and I will provide that to you. Chrisardis@hotmail.com. Thank you!
