First and Foremost, I am sorry for cancelling the meeting last night. As I told the athletes, my wife had unexpected work issue pop up so I was on pick up duty for my son and daughter.
My hope is that I can give you all the required information in this message.
At the end, please be sure to sign the google link so that I know all families have seen this message.
Meet Information:
All meet information can be found on the MEET INFORMATION page on the website.
https://xctf.rhsgators.com/cross-country/
From the main team page, you can access the meet information page either from the side menu (3rd to last option) or from the link in the Urgent Announcements (3rd link from the top).
On this page, you will see a full list of all of our meets with the next meet at the top. For each meet you will see the the following:
Meet Name
Meet Date
Meet Location - Typically hyper linked to a google map for GPS directions.
Meet Schedule/Itinerary: A live document that I use to put the meet information and meet line up. This will also have a packing list, schedule of events and who is running in what race.
Live Results: If we go to a meet with live results/team scores, I will also send that out to you. This will allow you to see how your athlete did. If they got a PR and how the team scored.
Fantasy Cross Country Link. This will be coming out this evening after I talk with the kids about it. This is a fun game we play throughout the season and parents are encouraged to play! If you like fantasy football or fantasy baseball, then this is right up your alley!
Transportation for Saturday, Sept 2 and Saturday, Sept 9
Due to the fact that these meets are on a Saturday and Local (River Hill HS and Centennial HS), our team will self transport to and from these meets. Athletes can carpool with other families. Athletes need to be dropped off at the prescribed time and picked up on time.
For all other meets this season, there will be bus transportation (I HOPE). The busses will pick the team up from Reservoir and will drop us off at Reservoir. If an athlete wishes to self transport either to or from any future meet (besides Sept 2 and Sept 9), it must be submitted in writing prior to the meet.
Saturday, Sept 2 @ River Hill
DROP OFF: Athletes are to be dropped off NLT 7:45am. Our Bright Orange, Reservoir Cross Country Tent will be on the Middle BLUE Circle which is a set of basketball courts. When you pull into River Hill. Drive all the way around to the opposite side of the track. The track will be on your left and a large parking lot will be on your right. (You can see the parking lot in the picture below on the left). Drive to the VERY TOP RIGHT of the parking lot and you can drop off at the top. The athletes can walk down the path (red line) to the team tent.

REQUIRED. For any and all meets, if you are leaving with a parent. A parent must check out with a coach. We can not allow an athlete to simply wander off after telling us "my parent is in the parking lot"
A few special notes:
- Athletes will have a very specific set of tasks to complete before and after their race. Parents, please allow them that time with their teammates to complete these tasks and prepare for their races.
- Parents, after the race, please congratulate your athlete, give them a hug and tell them how proud of them you are, but then send them on their way. Athletes need to go on a cool down within 15 minutes of finishing their race with their teammates.
- Snack Box: I do need a volunteer or two to help with the snack box. The volunteers would be responsible for gathering donations from other families (sign up genius) and for each meet sending in the waters/gatorades and snacks. In some years, a volunteer would handle the drinks and another would handle the snacks.
- Families: Please Sign up an item or two and it will cover the entire season.
- Please use this link to sign up for things. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0845A5AE23A7F58-rezzi1
