Dual Meet #4 vs. Waltham, 10/6/21

Meet Site: Wayland High School. The second and final home meet of the season.

First race 4:15 PM unless you hear different from me. Boys race will precede girls, with the girls race likely starting around 4:45 PM assuming the boys race goes off at 4:15. Please arrive no later than 3:15.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: mostly sunny, temperature around 70 degrees with a light breeze. Bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform.
• Don't forget your assigned dual meet bib number. 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 and after the meet. This mostly involves the placement or removal of cones and small flags. You may be asked to help by one of the coaches or one of the captains. 

 
• Course map

• course description

• NOTE: As in our previous meet, the course will be slightly modified to avoid a flooded out area at the back corner of the practice football field. This detour adds about 150 meters to the length of the course.

• Soon after the teams from Waltham arrive, there will be a tour of the course. Wayland athletes are welcome to join the tour if they didn't race in the first home meet three weeks ago or don't feel confident in their knowledge of the course.

 
• 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 sweaty clothes

• 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.
