Ad's,
TPlease let your bus drivers and parents know the following. Our east parking lot at the Middle School will be reserved for bus parking and parent parking for our meet on 9/22. This is the lot that has the basketball goals on it on the east side of the middle school. To access this lot busses and parents should proceed south through town on 5th street to Peters Drive then east on Peters drive to the parking lot.

Our south lot which is the lot in front of the school will be closed as it will be used to stage the high school homecoming parade which is on the same day. The homecoming parade entries will be using the same route to get to their lot for staging as we are closing Harlan Wise Drive and Ethel to keep all vehicle traffic off of the running course.

Friday at Chrisman

Leave by 1:45pm to avoid the traffic. We walk the course at 3:00 pm. If you get there early get the bathrooms. 5th grade runs first

Top 5 runners in the sixth, seventh, and eight will run in grade races the rest will run in the open see instructions


Important. Please let me know if you are not Running at Cow Chip Race. I can move runners out of the open into grade race

Race Instructions:  The races will run by grades.  Girls and Boys from the same grades will start at the same box together 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. 

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 follow the 8th grade race. The OPEN would be the same 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 4, 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 Outside near team camp sites

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.
