Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: Mostly cloudy, temperatures in the high 50s with winds 10-15 mph from the WNW. While the temperature is mild for this time of year, the wind will be enough that you'll want to keep some of your warmups on until you get to the starting line.
• Report to the starting line 10 minutes before your race is scheduled to start; keep your sweats on until the meet officials at the starting line tell you to remove them.
• Remember to give your uniform to one of the coaches before heading home after the meet ends/when we return to WHS.
• Numbers will be assigned to you specifically for this meet; these numbers have an RFID chip attached to the back which interacts with a conductive mat at the finish line to record your time. The meet director has asked that athletes who aren't racing NOT wear their bib number if standing near the finish line; doing so can cause a false reading by the finish line mat. Also, don't crumple or fold your bib number. Here's a video on how to wear your number.
• The meet staff has asked that no one do their warmup or cooldown among the buildings of the Wrentham Developmental Center, where patients are housed. Aside from the course itself, you can warmup and cooldown on the fields across the street.
• A map of the course can be seen here. It's basically flat, with some gentle roll in places. The course is entirely on grass. The freshman race ends after the second lap (3k versus 5k). 10th-12th graders run three laps.
• Plaques will be given to the top 3 finishers in each race; places 4-50 receive medals.
• A canned food drive is held in conjunction with this meet, if you're coming please remember to bring a non-perishable food item with you. I'll collect all items and turn them in at registration.
What to Bring:
• Uniform
• Everyday training shoes
• Racing shoes if you have them
• Multiple layers of clothing including clothes to wear while warming up and cooling down, in addition to dry warm clothes for after your race.
• Water bottle
• Snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)
• Folding chair
• Blanket to lie on under the tent
• Lunch - food will be sold at the meet but it won't be particularly good or nutritious; my advice is to pack a lunch and bring it with you.
For Parents:
• A parking fee of $5 will be collected for each car.
• We hope to return to WHS by 3 PM.
• Dogs aren't allowed on or near the course.
• Grills and open fires are also prohibited.
