Dual Meet #4 - vs. Bedford, 10/4/23

Meet Site: Wayland High School. The second of two home meets this season.

Start Time: 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. Please arrive no later than 3:15. We may need help setting up the course.

Rather than list everyone I think is ready to race, I'll be checking in with those who I feel should sit out this meet or are "on the fence" as to whether they might participate or not. 

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: sunny, temperatures in the high 70s with light winds from the WNW. 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

• Soon after the teams from Bedford arrive, there will be separate tours of the course for boys and girls to keep the size of the tour groups manageable. If you didn't compete at the first home meet you're welcome to join the course tour. 

• 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 half 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.
