10th Annual Avon Lake Intra-Squad Meet

Here are a few notes about today's A.L. Intra-Squad Meet:

• Wear your normal running shoes (no spikes)
• Wear your normal practice attire
• Parents, you can drop off athletes at the caboose or the library parking lot (whichever is easiest)
• Parents, this is primarily a practice for the kids to get an idea of what a race will look (and feel) like and is something fun we do to get them ready for Saturday...you're welcome to attend but you'll only really see the beginning and end of the race
• Athletes, we will meet between the stadium and the varsity baseball field
• We'll review how a cross country meet is scored, then we'll start the race!
• Teams are posted on the Google Spreadsheet, this will be emailed to you
• You will meet with your teammates and decide on a team name...then tell the coaches
• When you finish, listen to your coaches as they yell out your time
• Another coach will give you a card with your place number on it
• Once you catch your breath, you'll be asked to write your time on your card
• Gather together with your teammates and cheer on the runners as they come in
• Once your entire team is finished, add up your TOP 5 places
• For example, if your top 5 places are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, you would add 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15...in this example your team would score 15 total points
• Double check your math, then make sure you have your 6th place & 7th place cards as well
• Report to Coach Rocco with your team's totals, and then tell him your team's 6th & 7th places as well (in case there's a tie)
• Then we'll go over the results as an entire team and crown the winning team
