Welcome back. This year Bishop Smith CHS will be hosting the annual elementary county cross country running meet.
Note that we require the names and respective divisions of your athletes ahead of time as indicated on the attached registration sheet. If you could have these e-mailed (bkenney@rccdsb.edu.on.ca) to me by Friday, October 7th, as I would like to avoid last minute changes to names and divisions. I will e-mail you a return confirmation note.
As Brian and Judy Hugli run a busy business, please refrain from inquiries for your team to practice run the course prior to race day. Race packages will also only be available on the morning of Wednesday, October 12th.
I have also attached a list of race day ideas for coaches and athletes to ensure we have a safe and successful day on October 12th. Please go over relevant points with your runners.
Individual awards (medals) will be given out as the top three runners cross the finish line, where they will be escorted to the podium and pictures taken. I will attach these pictures to the results that will be forwarded to you after the meet. Team awards, once they are posted, can be picked up by coaches at an awards table set up near the finish line.
We look forward to seeing you and your teams in October at Hugli’s Blueberry Ranch (www.blueberryranch.ca), just outside Pembroke. Enjoy the start of another school year. Should you require any further information, contact Bernie Kenny at bernard.kenny@rccdsb.ca.
Regards,
B. Kenny
