Dual Meet #1: home vs. Boston Latin - Wednesday 9/17/14

Meet Site: Wayland High School!

First race 4:15 PM unless you hear different from me

Girls will race first, followed by boys

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: temperatures in the high 60s at race time, with light breezes from the west. Compared to last week at Franklin Park, maybe just a bit warmer. Nevertheless, you'll want to wear more than just your uniform while warming up and cooling down. The temperature will drop by the time the meet's wrapping up. It's worth a reminder: bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform.
• You'll receive a bib number that you need to wear for this and all subsequent DCL meets (i.e. weekday meets). After your race and before you leave, please return this bib number to me and I'll hold on to it until next week's meet.
• Be prepared to help out with setting up and/or breaking down the course before or after the meet. You may be asked to help by one of the coaches or one of the captains. 
• You're more than welcome to join the course tour before the first race of the day: it's not restricted to the visiting team.
• The varsity result will be determined by the first seven finishers from each team. 
• The JV result will be determined by finishers 8-14 from each team.

What to Bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• sunscreen
• water bottle - including a larger (24-32 oz.) bottle if you have one
• snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Challenge)

for parents:

• a map of the course can be seen here. If you stand near the start/finish line (just off the corner of the student parking lot, near the JV baseball field) you can watch most of the first mile and the last half mile of the race.
