Course:

Grassy, flat, and very spectator friendly (80% grass, 15% trail, 5% concrete). We encourage all of you to come early and familiarize yourself with the course. We will have monitors around key areas of the course. Some areas will be flagged and some will be lined. All CIF rules apply and all athletes must stay within three feet of either side of the line. Please make your athletes responsible to know the course. Map of the course included and miles are color-coded.

Team Camp:

Please use the area on either side of the sandbox away from the start for your team's campsite. Please make sure your athletes keep all their belongings in one place. As we know, there will be many athletes out there and things tend to get lost easily. Please be responsible for cleaning your own areas before leaving the park; trash bags will be provided, so please have the athletes use them.

Divisions and Schedule:

JV Boys - 2:00 PM

JV Girls - 2:30 PM

Varsity Girls - 3:00 PM

Varsity Boys - 3:30 PM

Awards:

We will give individual awards as athletes come down the chute.

Team Cup, Divisions, Fastest Male/Female, and top 3 individuals will be done at the awards presentation. Please gather your athletes as soon as possible after the race; we are trying to beat the dark.

Awards as follows:

Trophies for top 3 individuals per division, medals for 4th to 30th in lower level, 4th to 40th in varsity.

Trophy for the fastest Male and Female of the meet.

Top three teams in each of the seven divisions will receive plaques

The "Cup" will go to the best boys team and the best girls team. This will be calculated by taking the top 2 finishers from each school per divisional race, and adding their time. Fastest overall time wins the Cup; this totals to eight times for boys and six times for girls. This will ensure that the lower level athletes take an important part in the outcome of the meet. (Clarification: take your top two varsity finishers, your top two jv finishers, top two sophomore finishers, and top two frosh finishers and add their times together, thus not only does place matter, but times as well.)

Entry Fees:

$5 per individual if less than five in a division

$20 per team, per division if more than five individuals

$120 max payment if fielding all seven divisions with five or more individuals.

Please coaches, remember that payment is due prior to the start of the meet. All funds will be used for purchase of awards, extra restroom facilities, advertising, and everything else to make the meet a success. Please make checks payable to Torrance High School Cross Country.

At the Meet:

We will hand out packets as payment is received. Let us know how many full teams and how many individuals you have. You will receive an exact number of tags and a ribbon to color code the races. Please make sure you write:

Last Name, First Name

School

Division B or G

We will have a short coaches meeting at 1:30 to go over last minute details.
