Dual Meet #1 vs. Bedford, 9/14/21

 Meet Site: Wayland High School

First race 4:30 PM unless you hear different from me. Boys race will precede girls, with the girls race likely starting around 5 PM assuming the boys race goes off at 4:30.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: partly cloudy, temperatures in the mid 70s with light NW winds 5-10 mph. 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 remaining DCL dual meets. At the conclusion of your race, please remove the bib number from your jersey and return it to the large ziploc bag where the bib numbers will be stored between meets. Leave the safety pins on the corners of the number.
• Be prepared to help out with setting up and/or breaking down the course before or after the meet. This mostly involves the placement of cones. You may be asked to help by one of the coaches or one of the captains. 

 
• Course map

• course description

• NOTE: the course will be slightly modified to avoid a flooded out area at the back corner of the practice football field. This isn't portrayed on the course map but will be thoroughly explained during the course tour.

• When the teams from Bedford arrive, there will be a tour of the course. Since the course has been updated from last year, all WHS athletes will join the tour as well.
• Once the course tour has begun, all balls, frisbees, etc. will be put away for the duration of the meet.

 What to Bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• plastic bag to store clothes and backpack/duffel bag
• water bottle - including a second (24-32 oz.) bottle if you have an extra
• snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)

for parents:

• If you stand near the start/finish line area (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.
• Snacks are welcome, but due to allergy concerns the Athletic Director has asked that any snacks be individually wrapped and ideally have the ingredients written on the label.
