Entry Information
Dear Coach,
Welcome to the 1st ever Yolo County Championships co-hosted Woodland
and Davis High Schools and race directors Chuck Bruns and Bill Gregg.
As race directors, we both have long wanted to host a unique local cross-country
invitational that showcases the hills found just a few miles beyond the
city of Woodland. Most recipients of this letter have already confirmed
their commitment to partake in this event and we expect the day to include
a nice offering of teams from the Sac Joaquin and neighboring Sections.
We hope that this event will become an annual event for you and your teams.
If we can do anything to make your visit and participation a better experience
please feel free to contact us and share your insight.
Below you will find general information regarding the meet. To ensure
that this inaugural meet “comes off” efficiently and provides
both an enjoyable and competitively manageable field, team entries are
limited to no more than 25 high school and 10 junior high teams. Please
be aware to return your entries with U.S. postmark deadline of Tuesday,
September 23rd or email return to: [email protected]
by Friday, September 26th, 2003.
We look forward to your attendance and hope that your team’s visit
as well as racing experience will be enjoyable and competitive.
Sincerely,
Chuck Bruns and Bill Gregg
2003 co-race directors
