Coaches: Welcome to the 2021 “Class A Region II Cross Country Meet”!

A few notes for you to consider:

1) Enclosed in your packets are numbers for your runners. Please check for accuracy and make sure that the runners get their numbers. Also, make sure that their names & grades are correct. If they qualify for the state meet, this info will become info for the state meet and state meet program.

2) We will have results available soon after the meet. Results will also be posted on the RunWV website as soon as possible.

3) If you have any problems or questions please let us know (Craig Kellar-Meet Management, Josh Weekley-Entries, or Brent Cottrill-Course Questions).

4) Custom Medals for placers 1-20 (1^st & 2^nd team “All-Region”) will be given out at the conclusion of the meet at the stage area. There is also a team plaque from the WVSSAC for the team champion in both the boys’ & girls’ divisions. The entire high school course is painted with white arrows. Please instruct your runners to run entirely on the marked course for safety, as well as for fairness!

5) There are restrooms located on the side of the main building, in the new building between the swimming pool and the Midway Shelter, in the main building at Lone Pine Campground and in the small building past the stage near the “counsel circle”.

6) Joe Gonzalez and Diane Kinney will be the starters for today’s meet. Mr. Gonzalez will also serve as the referee.

7) You will be supplied with a trash bag for the meet. We would appreciate help with the clean-up of your team’s area. Thanks.

8) Early in the race, after the runners go around the first gas well, they will reach a point where they can run in the road or on the right or left of the road. Late in the race they will come back through that same area in the opposite direction. They will again have the same choices, but must eventually go left of the 3 orange cones to put everyone on the same path as they prepare to go up the last hill. There are a couple sections where there will be arrows painted in both directions, as they will ultimately be running in the opposite direction that they ran in, earlier.

9) The course is changed slightly from that used at our Doddridge Invitational. The runners will not be running up “Big Bertha” nor will they be crossing the creek. They will run an extra section after they go around the septic system fence, early in the race.

10) Concessions and tee-shirts will be available for purchase in prominent locations.

11) There are also information sheets for the state meet in your packet.

12) There will be a mandatory Coaches' Meeting at the starting line at 12:30pm!!!

13) Please have your runners on the starting line at least 10 minutes before race time. We need to count runners and teams to let everyone know the number of individuals and teams that will qualify.

Time Schedule: 1:00pm-Girls Race, 1:45pm-Boys Race, 2:45pm-Awards

Good luck in today’s meet!
