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 8th grade race!
Here is how it will work. For the 6th gr. race, 7th
gr. race, and 8th gr. race (not the 5th 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.
