Randolph School XC Classic, Huntsville, AL

Well, here we go with our busy week. Here are the details of our first meet of the week on Tuesday. This race is a bit different from any others in that it on the eurocross course at UAH. The kids will be running through water. T-shirts are being supplied to all of our runners, so they will not mess up their uniform tops. Everyone is asked to wear their uniform shorts. To get a better idea of just how muddy it can be - check out the pictures from last year: http://www.hhsxc.org/Scrapbook/2008/Meets/Randolph%20Cross%20Country%20Class%20-%20September%2016,%202008/index.html

Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Time: Athletes need to leave school ASAP and head straight to UAH campus. The course is on the Southwest side of the campus (corner of Sparkman Dr. and I-565). Everyone needs to be there by 2:40pm. Stephen is going to try and be out there by 2:15pm or so. There will be no buses - kids will be responsible for their own rides. Students can drive since this event is within Madison county.

Crimson Classic, Tuscaloosa, AL

Date: Friday, September 18, 2009

Time: All runners will be excused from classes after 2nd period (10:01) - Buses will be ready. (There will be no announcements made, runners will just leave the building after 2nd period - their teachers will have a list of athletes that are excused)

Excused absence: Since this is a school function - all runners will have excused absences and teachers are required to allow for make-up work if necessary. We would highly suggest for the kids to speak with them ahead of time and perhaps make-up work ahead of time where possible.

Meals: Runners are asked to pack a lunch for the trip to Tuscaloosa. The booster club will supply drinks and snacks. The bus will stop on the return trip for dinner, so runners will need money for one meal and any other "extras" they may want to purchase while at the meet.

Schedule:
3:30pm Middle School Boys/Girls – 3.5km
4:00pm High School Varsity Girls – 5km
4:30 pm High School Varsity Boys – 5km

5:30 pm University Men –8km

After the last race the kids will board the bus for the return trip home.

COURSE: BOB JONES HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS COURSE

OTHER:

Unlike the past few years, Daylight Savings Time will have ended and we will be on CST. This means it will get dark about 5:25 and earlier if it is cloudy and gray. With that in mind I have elected to start the race earlier in the day. The race will be starting before BJHS dismisses from school so the following information regarding parking is very important to you and your team. EVERYONE MUST ENTER CAMPUS AT THE SOUTH GATE WHERE THE GUARD SHACK IS LOCATED. The north gate will not be open till well after the races start. Do not go to the north gate and expect to have it opened. Also, remind parents that they will not be allowed to park on Eastview Drive. Busses will park around the track where they have in the past. Guests will be allowed to park in any available spot and should note that they will have to walk some to get to the course.

If the weather is a factor, I will make a decision by 12:30 and inform everyone via email. We will run in the rain. The only thing that would cancel the meet is lightening or tornado watches/warnings. Make note of the make-up scenario, next day, same times.

See you then,
