2021 St Mary’s Medical Center XC Festival

Coaches Information

 

We would like to welcome your team to Cabell Midland High School for the 2021 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.

 

 

Tent City is located between the baseball and softball fields along at the back of the school.  Please be aware that tents are not permitted inside the football stadium or near the shot put/discus areas on the XC starting field.

 

The course is open for inspection and warm-up at all times.  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 (Names are on the back).  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 https://www.kvtfoa.net/    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. 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.  The spectator path is located behind the press box inside the football stadium that is equipped with stairs to help make getting on top of the course easier.  Please do not attempt to use the hill that the athletes use so no interference occurs with competing runners.

 

Medals will be passed out at the end of the chute and team awards mailed to your school. This makes for a safer environment and allows teams to get home earlier.
