Varsity Races: The boys and girls varsity races will be held in TWO flights. The first flight will be for the # 5, 6, 7 & 8th runners. The second flight will be for the #1, 2, 3, & 4 runners. Each girl's flight will start approximately 5-7 minutes after the boy's flight (once the boys pass through the start/finish area) Girls must come to the starting line immediately once the boys race starts. In the event of a recall in a girls varsity flight, the filight will be delayed until the boys varsity flight finishes. This is to prevent any conflicts between the boys finish as the girls approach the 1 mile point. Scoring: We use traditional cross country scoring. Our scoring software (Raceberry Jam) merges the times from the two varsity flights together. Individual placing and and team results are based on the pacing once the flights have been merged. Junior Varsity Races: Their will be two jv team races prior to the varsity races, one for boys and another for girls. These will be limited to 5 athletes per team and will be scored. After the varstiy race there will be two more junior varsity races, one for boys and another for girls. These races will not be scored and participation is unlimited. Community/Youth Races: Prior to the high school races will be an open race for coaches, family, and open runners. The cost of the open race is $5.00. Ribbons will be awarded for the top 20 males and females in the open race. This year, we will enter results and post them on-line as well. There is also a 2k youth race for runners up to 8th grade. All participants will in the youth race receive a ribbon, with additional ribbons for the top 20 places. * Current high school runners competing in the open race for whatever reason shall not wear their team issued uniform to avoid potential conflict with WIAA rules and eligibility. Their entry fee and registration form must be independent of their school's registration as they are separate from the high school event. |
