Please add your slower runners to the JV race Below is atentative meet time schedule. This is based on our prior Invitational that we hosted on Sept 19th.

All runners must wear a mask to the starting line. If it is a disposable mask they must throw it away in a trash can at the start. If it is not a disposable mask then the runner must carry it, put it in the elastic of their running shorts, or strap it around their wrist. Do not discard your mask on the course.
All spectators must wear a mask. If a spectator does not wear a mask they will be asked to put one on. If they refuse then they will be asked to leave. If they continue to be an issue then it could result in the disqualification of the team theyarethere to support.
Two spectators per runner are allow. Do not arrive at the race more than 45 minutes before the race. When the race is over exit the race.
We will not have awards presentation. Any awards earned will be mailed out to the coach after the race. We will not take the poduim as we have in years past. We will not have concessions nor t-shirtsales nor meet programs all in an effort to avoid Covid.
We will not have water at the finish line. Each runner must bring their own water. No tents will be allowed. A coach from each team needs to be in or near the finish line to tend to their own athletes that need water. Each Coach needs to perform a temperture check on their kids prior to entry into the park. If a child or coach even has a hint of illness PLEASE HAVE THEM STAY AT HOME. Teams can put down tarps in the usual team area.
We will not be charging for parking as many people will be traveling that typically take a school bus. In a time of 40% unemployment charging for parking just does not seem right.

We will be charging $50 per team (5 runners are a team) with a max fee $250. If less than 5 runners then $10 per runner.

We will have porta potties. HOWEVER, PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR RUNNERS TO USE THE PORTA POTTIES ONLY AS A LAST RESORT. IF THEY ARE USED PLEASE SANITIZE YOUR HANDS. EACH TEAM SHOULD BRING THEIR OWN HAND SANITIZERS.
I know this is a lot. I know that we have a lot of rules this meet. However, this is an attempt to comply with the guidelines of the KHSAA to the best of our ability.
If you have any questions emailme or our hytek operator Jim Kaiserjimkaiser@mindspring.com
Our meet official will be Kathy Johnston. Both are professionalswho have worked many large meets. I expect a great day of competition. Final heats/wave assignments will be issued soon. Again if you can move a runner to JV that would be great otherwise we will do that based upon KHSAA guidelines and time.
