4.      What do coaches need to inform people who buy tickets? – All coaches need to educate people who bought tickets that MASK are mandated and always social distance when available. We DO NOT want to be a spreading ground for this terrible virus, so everybody in attendance must understand and abide by these expectations in order for the WV State XC Championship to take place. 

No Mask, No Ticket, No Entry.

 

5.      Where do people enter with their tickets? This year we will NOT be collecting at the vehicles. There will be 2 different gates to enter near Tent City behind the school and out by the tennis courts leading to the stadium.
