***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. Please do your best with this! We will send out more specifics on the exact start times of the JH races soon.
