Team areas:

  1. Team areas will be near Appleblossom drive.   Cones will indicate the area designated for each team.  More information will be given upon arrival.  The Shelter building is off-limits as another group has it reserved.

  1. Coaches will monitor team areas to make sure masks are worn and athletes are abiding to physical distancing.

Restrooms: Portajohns (4) are located near the team area

Starting line:

  1. Runners cannot report to the start line until 5 min before the start.  They may do warm up strides and drills in the baseball field or adjacent service road prior to reporting to the starting line.
  2. Both teams will line up their top 8 runners on the line 6 feet apart.  The next 8 runners will line up behind their teammates 6 feet behind them.  Both will start at the gun.
  3. Masks will be worn until 30 sec before the race start.  Runners should hold their masks so they have access to them at the finish or if they feel a need to use them during the race.
  4. No team huddles or cheers, no warmups, only athletes and coaches allowed at start area

Racing:

  1. Runners should do their best to not run directly next to in front of or behind someone within reason.  The course is wide enough in many areas where they could run 6 feet apart while still side by side.
  2. Runners should run through the chute and disperse from the finish line immediately after the race.  We will have workers to facilitate this process.

After the race:

  1. Runners will be afforded 20 minutes to complete a cool down.  That cool down should not be done on any part of the course that would impede the runners of the next race nor should it be used to cheer for the racers.
  2. After a team has completed their assigned races and cooldowns they should report to buses and leave the meet as soon as possible.

Results and scoring:

  1. The race will be scored varsity only using the top five runners from each team.  No designation between varsity and JV will be used.
  2. The results will be posted at xctiming.com.
