2020 Autumn Classic
St. Marys HIGH SCHOOL
The St.
Marys High School Cross Country Team would like to invite your team to the Autumn
Classic. Due to the new WVSSAC COVID-19
Recommendations we will be running each race in waves. We have a set maximum number of teams (ON
TEAMS LIST) and we will permit the top 7 members off each team to race. If teams have more than 7 runners they will
be allowed to run in the 3K/5K Fun Run (Staggered Start, Self-Timing). We will be passing out bottles of water at
the finish line and all finish line workers will have masks on while we help
social distance all athletes coming through the finish. All TEAMS should be on Team List If NOT
please contact me; thanks and we are excited to host your teams this fall.
