Avon Lake Intra-Squad Meet

Here are a few notes about Monday's 13th Annual A.L. Intra-Squad Meet:

• Wear your normal running shoes (no spikes)
• Wear your normal practice attire (no uniforms)
• We'll be meeting at ALHS (caboose) at 3:30 p.m.
• 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 how a meet is run...you're welcome to attend but you'll only really see the beginning and end of the race
• We'll review how a cross country meet is scored, then we'll start the race!
• Teams are posted on the Google Spreadsheet here: TEAMS
• 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 the coaches with your team's totals, and then tell us 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
