GIRLS S, BOYS SS, GIRLS SS AND OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
TO BE HELD TUESDAY AT HAMMONASSET STATE PARK IN MADISON
The CIAC has made a determination on rescheduling the three remaining divisional cross country championships which were postponed last week, as well as the open meet which was scheduled to take place this coming Friday.
The Class S girls, Class SS boys and Class SS girls championship cross country meets were originally scheduled at Wickham Park but that facility is not available for the remainder of the season due to damage suffered during Saturday's storm. Taking into account that issue and the fact that a number of participating schools are currently not in session, both the class meets and the open will be held on Tuesday, November 8th, at Hammonasset State Park in Madison. The competition will begin at noon with the S girls, followed by the SS boys at 12:35 and the SS girls at 1:05. The boys open race will run at 1:45 and the girls open at 2:30.
The times from the three class meets will be merged with those from the open to determine the final open results. In this way, Connecticut's athletes will still be able to compete in the New England championships which are being held on Saturday, November 12 at Ponaganset High School in North Scituate, Rhode Island.
Questions regarding the cross country meets should be directed to either meet director Bill Baron (860-644-1264) or committee chair Donn Friedman (860-416-1884).

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. NUMBERS -- Each athlete has an individual number
with his/her name on it. Please be sure each athlete is wearing
THE NUMBER WITH THEIR NAME ON IT. PIN THE NUMBER ON THE RIGHT HIP.
Center the number on the seam of the pants. Secure it with four
pins. Do not pin below the perforated line. Use the pin holes in
the number.
2. STARTING POSITION -- Your starting position
on the line is printed on the label on the front of your packet.
REPORT TO THE STARTING LINE 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR RACE. Number
placement will be checked at this time. If it is not correct, your
athlete will be asked to change it. To avoid this unnecessary task,
please supervise when the numbers are put on.
3. JEWELRY -- No jewelry may be worn during the
competition. Watches may be worn, but are discouraged because they
interfere with finish line operation.
4. RESULTS -- Turn in your team score sheet to
the scorers in the parking lot near the finish line. Please be aware
that your official score may be lower as individuals are deleted.
OFFICIAL RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES AFTER
EACH RACE AT THE VAN IN THE PARKING LOT NEAR THE FINISH LINE. One
copy of your race will be prepared for you. To receive your copy,
bring the index card in your packet. Copies of all races will be
posted.

12 finishers will be given out at the tent near the finish line.
They will be announced as soon as possible.
