Dual Meet #3 - vs. Boston Latin, 9/27/23

Meet Site: Playstead Field at Franklin Park, Boston. Fun fact, there have been cross country races held here for over a century.

Bus Time: 2:45 at the earliest. While it's possible the bus won't be available until 3 PM, be ready for an earlier departure just in case.

Race Schedule, first race no earlier than 4:30 likely after that:

Varsity combined (5k) - Bell, Caddoo, Chisum, Ciccarelli, Ciciarelli, Jackson, Libenzon, Liu, McCormack, A. Narvaez, D. Narvaez, Samaratunga, Tan, Yee

JV combined (3K) - Z. Goldstein, Goode, Han, Maali-Pohl, Markey, Munford, Nagalla, Newland, Sebastianelli, Srivastava, Wheeler

Meet Information:

• Weather Forecast: Partly cloudy, temperatures in the low to mid 60s with WSW winds 5-10 mph.
• The course has three loops; the first starts on the Playstead field and is a loop around these fields and White Stadium. The second loop also goes around the fields and stadium and features a climb up and over Bear Cage Hill. The third loop covers the Wilderness and Playstead field. 

• The 3k JV race incorporates the first two of the three loops shown on the maps below. The 5k course includes all three loops.
• In the past, athletes from various DCL schools (including Wayland) have gotten lost in the third loop of the course. This section is labeled "The Wilderness" on the maps below. Upon arrival, I will be leading everyone entered in the varsity race on a tour of this section.

• Return time to WHS is approximate, but we hope to be back between 6:30 and 7:00 depending on traffic and what time the first race starts.

What to bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• 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 Festival)

For parents:

• There's a small parking lot at the corner of Circuit Drive and Pierpont Road; there's also a larger lot further down Circuit Drive, as well as on-street parking on Circuit Drive.
• If you're going to be at the meet and would like to take your child with you when their race is over, please let one of the coaches know. 
• The area just beyond the finish line is a good spot to see the race at various points as the runners pass by repeatedly.
