Cow chip Race

General Meet Information Sheet

Race Instructions:  The races will be run  by grades.  Girls and Boys from the same grades will start at the same time and run the course together, then go into separate chutes at the finish line.  Please stress to your runners that Girls will go to the chute on the left and boys to the chute on the right.  Every year it is a problem that runners go to the wrong chute and lose time and cause confusion.  The chutes will be clearly marked to avoid confusion. 

Note: If the coach has a runner who would like to compete at a different grade level they may be put into a higher grade race only--they will not be allowed to move down!  Their placing will be awarded for the race they run in. 

Added last year!!  Due to an increase number of participants, some of the races have become too large to manage. Therefore we will have an OPEN Race for Boys and Girls to be run after the 8^th grade race!

Here is how it will work.   For the 6^th gr. race, 7^th gr. race, and 8^th gr. race (not the 5^th gr. race), each school will be limited to 5 girls and 5 boys.  These should be the better runners. Additional runners will race in the OPEN. It will be a mix of 6-8th graders, which will again be run following the 8th grade race. The OPEN would be as the others races, with boys and girls starting together and finishing in separate chutes. We will award the top 10 OPEN finishers a medal as they cross the finish line, but will NOT keep their times or information for results. There will be a timer at the chute reading times, but it is up to the schools to keep records if they choose. 

Location:  In the cow pasture behind Chrisman Jr. and Sr. High School, Chrisman, IL.

Date:  Friday, September 6, 2013 , 4:00 pm.

Order of Events and Times: These are approximate times for the races.  It is the runner’s responsibility to be in the area of the starting line once the race preceding theirs has begun!  We do not wait for one race to be over before the next one begins. Suggestion:  If you feel like you have a runner who cannot finish their race in 20 minutes or less please put them in the OPEN.         

                 5^th grade race                        4:00

                 6^th grade race                        4:15

                 7^th grade race                        4:30

                 8^th grade race                        4:45

                 OPEN RACE for grades 6-8     5:00 

                 Awards & Results                    5:30 inside HS gym

Awards:  Trophies will be awarded for the top 5 girls and top 5 boys of each grade.  A trophy will also be awarded to the fastest overall girl and boy runner of the meet. Medallions will be passed out for the top 10 OPEN girl and boy runners. There will be NO team scoring or team trophies! Results will be emailed to schools following the meet. Some MAY be available at the awards ceremony for coaches to pick up. NONE  will be mailed unless specially requested by those unable to stay for awards.

Please EMAIL the entry information by Tuesday, Sept. 3 !
