The Southern Showcase 2020

This year we will have a 12-15 team cap per division to allow for spacing at the starting/finish area and throughout each race. There will be a max of 10 runners per race division as well to keep races smaller.

*Please enter your athletes in the appropriate level. The fastest runners should be in the A race. Slower runners would be in the B or C race. It is even more important this year to allow the proper flow of racing to occur throughout the event.

*Bring the waiver completed to the meet or email it to me ahead of time please. Thank you!

My suggestions preseason for levels of these races are as follows:

Large School A Boys - Sub 19

Large School B Boys - 19:00 to 21:45

Large School C Boys - above 21:45 / remaining runners

Large School A Girls - Sub 22:45

Large School B Girls - 22:45- / remaining runners

Small School A Boys - Sub 20:45

Small School B Boys - 20-22:30

Small School A Girls - Sub 24:30

Small School B Girls - 24:30 -

*We follow the school size category of the AHSAA, therefore, out of state private schools must multiply enrollment by1.35% (grades 10-12) to determine the division that your team will compete in.
