Race Procedure: For the first wave of the first race we will allow each team to put in their top 3 boys. We will then fill up the remaining slots with some
others to fill out the 35-person wave based on available rankings. This race will start at 4:30. At 4:35 a flag drop will start a wave of girls that was selected in the same way. There will be separate finishing chutes for the boys and the girls! We will repeat this procedure with a second race; boys at 5:15pm and girls at 5:20pm. There will be a 3rd race with boys and girls, as well. There will be 35 X’s marked right behind the starting line. Placement for the first race will be first come, first served for the top 3 from each team plus a few extras. For the second & third races it will be first come first serve with the remaining runners with team distribution as noted above. As runners finish they should slow down (no passing in the chute) and walk out of the chute with their number clearly showing. We will not pull tags! We will have workers record the bib numbers. We will use a camera as a backup system.
Entry Fees: $40 for each team ($80 for boys & girls)
$8 per runner if you do not have a full team
Make checks payable to “DCHS Athletics”.
Awards: Medals for individual varsity placers 1 – 20
Plaques for 1st and 2nd place teams
Will not be given out at the meet
Course: Big Bertha and the creek crossing are included. Other rolling hills along
the way!
Miscellaneous: We are asking that masks be worn by spectators at all times. Coaches should wear masks when they are going to come close to runners, parents, or spectators. They can unmask if they are running with their runners or running from spot to spot on the course. Runners must wear masks unless they are running. This would include warming up, running from the tent to the starting line, racing, & their cool down run. For Cross Country, even though we are a “yellow” county, parents, guardians, & siblings can attend! Pre-sold tickets will be collected at the top of the hill.
