2018 St Mary’s Medical Center XC
Festival
Coaches Information
We would like to welcome your
team to Cabell Midland High School for the 2018 St Mary’s Medical Center XC
Festival. We want all teams to have a great experience and will do everything
possible to achieve this goal. If you have any questions, the meet director
is Chris Parsons.
The course is open for
inspection and warm-up at all times unless a race is in progress. Please make sure your teams stay clear of
racing athletes to ensure that no runner is impeded.
There will be no formal
coaches meeting. Please fill out and
return your team’s Sportsmanship Form to the Red Track Building outside track
fence.
Packet pick-up will be at the
Red Track Building outside track fence on finish line side of stadium. Make
sure to check that each of your competing athletes has a race number. If you have an athlete who needs a number,
see official at the Red Track Building. If you have a number in your packet for
an athlete who is not running, just ignore it because they will not be counted
Results will be posted on the
www.midlandrunning.com. The results will
also be posted later on RUNWV.
Each race will start promptly
at the time listed on the meet schedule.
Make sure your athletes arrive at the starting line 10-15 minutes early
to make sure they do not miss the start of their race. We will use an open
starting line. Pick a box and line-up 3 across the front and your remaining
team members behind them. (ONLY 7
RUNNERS OR LESS IN HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY RACES and ONLY 10 RUNNERS OR LESS IN
MIDDLE SCHOOL VARSITY RACES)
The use of wireless
communications between coaches during races is STRICTLY prohibited. Also, runners may NOT wear GPS or any watch that indicates pace.
The watch should only display time in a stopwatch form.
Coaches and spectators MAY NOT go up the hill using the
entrance that the athletes use. There
are two spectator paths that will allow you to get up to the upper part of the
course to watch the races. One is behind
the barn on the band field; the other is behind the press box inside the
football stadium that is equipped with stairs to help make getting there
easier. Please do not attempt to use the
hill the athletes use so no interference occurs with competing runners.
The awards ceremonies will be held in the gymnasium
due to re-surfacing of track. Team and individuals finishing in top ten in
their races will be given awards at this time. Medals for runners finishing
beyond 10th place will be given out at the end of the chute.
Due to the re-surfacing of the track, absolutely NO
spectators or Coaches will be allowed inside the track fence. To get from one
side of track to the other, you must go around the brick building.
