Info for Coaches

Dear Coaches

1. There is a web site for the race this Friday at Cumberland. Type this address into your browser and bookmark it for your convenience: cumberland-xc-classic.blogspot.com

2. The weather forecast for Friday is 60 degrees, with a 30% chance of rain and wind gusts up to 25mph.

3. In the case of dangerous weather a postponement will be posted on the web site by 12:30pm, Friday. We will run in rain, but not if there is lightning or severe conditions.

4. We plan to have results for you at the end of the meet. Results and pics will also be posted on the web site by late Friday evening.

5. When you arrive you are to check in at the table in front of the tennis courts. High School teams please check by 3:30pm, Middle school teams please check in by 4pm.

6. Please make sure your runners are at the Starting line area 10 minutes prior to their race start. The schedule of races is as follows:
HS Boys - 4pm, HS Girls - 4:25.
Midd Sch Boys 4:50, Midd Sch Girls - 5:10.

7. Coaches, it is your responsibility to turn in the cards your runners will receive at the finish line. Please collect them asap, write the school and the runners name on the card and turn them in at the table. We suggest that you designate someone with you to specifically handle this responsibility.

8. The top 15 finishers in each race will receive medals. The medals will be handed out at the end of the finish line chute.

9. Please note that course maps will be available at the table where you check in. Each attending HS is familiar with the course, but if you have any questions, be sure to ask. A brief explanation of the course will be given at the finish line area at about 3:20pm by Coach Bagley.

10. We plan to make Gatorade and snack bars available for a nominal fee. Please let your athletes know in advance so that they won't end up bumming off of you.

*Check the web site for updates Thursday evening.

Thanks,
Jamie
