***More updates/clarifications 9/12/24 - The gray boys race should be the only unlimited entry 5k race on the boys side to allow for those who were planning to race on Friday in the open, and on the girls side that race is the crimson race. JH 2 mile races are unlimited. Gray boys only has 230 entries, while crimson already had nearly 600 before we made the adjustment to Saturday only.
- please do not enter more than 10 in the crimson boys race. I will also let you go up to 8 boys in the blue race.
- please do not enter more than 8 girls in the championship, or more than 10 in the blue girls.
- NO ENTRY changes are necessary with these adjusted parameters. As the pdf attached at the top says, as long as you have them entered, you as their coach can direct them to the correct race based on our guidelines. This is not like track where they are tied to a heat/ lane assignment.
***Weather Update 9/11/24 - ALL high school Friday races will be moved to Saturday. Therefore, there will be NO HS RACES FRIDAY. Saturdays original schedule will not be affected. The boys and girls JH 2 mile races will be added to the end of the meet Saturday. Athletes that were entered in the Open 5k races on Friday should be placed in the Saturday 5k divisions. There are no high school races Friday. Please place them in the Saturday race that makes the most sense for your team based on the time standards in the pdf at the top of the meet page.
