State Meet Final Instructions

 Hi Everyone.

We made it to States!  This has certainly been a season to remember and hopefully, we will all look back at this one day and maybe smile at the craziness.

I announced the other day that Killen's Pond is CLOSED to the public on Saturday.  Most of the team will be traveling to the park on the bus.  For those who are arriving separately, they will allow you to drop off athletes to the staging area and then exit the park.  Make sure you tell them you are Division 2. You should drop off near start/finish.  All Division One traffic will be directed to Water Park.

The meet is being Live Streamed through NFHS.  I'm not sure how they live stream 3.1 miles, but I'm guessing you will be able to see the Start and Finish.  Click HERE for the link.  There is a fee to watch the live stream.   I'm hoping to take lots of pics and will share them with you as well.

In true 2020 fashion, we are looking at a possibly wet and windy day.  Please, please, please come prepared.  See below for my suggestions:

1.  At least TWO pairs of running shoes.  You should not be warming up in the shoes that you will wear for the race.  You may even want to pack a third pair of slippers/slides for the bus ride home

2.  EXTRA socks!!!!  A pair to warm-up in/ A pair to RACE in (preferably our mismatched ones)/ A pair to put on after

3.  Layers:  One of them must be water resistant.  My suggestions:  Uniform Top. Long Sleeved BHSXC tee. Sweatshirt.  BHSXC windbreaker.  Tights. Sweatpants.  Another pair of sweatpants or pajama pants for ride home. Blanket.  Umbrella.  

4.  Food:  There will be NO CONCESSIONS.  We will bring a case of Gatorade, the same granola bars I've been bringing all season, and bananas.  Please pack anything else you may need.

5.  MASKS.  Bring at least TWO.  Three is better.  You must wear a mask at all times except while racing.  And since your mask will most likely get wet, you will definitely want a dry one for the ride home.

6.  Towels:  Bring at least TWO.

7.  Garbage bag:  to put all your wet gear in after the race.

**And perhaps if we come thoroughly prepared for All Kinds of Weather and Circumstances, The SUN WILL SHINE instead.

Please arrive at BHS no later than 7:20 for Covid Screening.  Bus will depart at 7:30 sharp.

Our Wave Assignments are below:

The Division 2 Girls race goes off at 10:30.  Our Boys run at 12:00.

We are hoping to be back on the bus and headed home by 1:15 at the latest.  

That's All for Now!  Rest up today.  Fuel your bodies.  Hydrate.  Visualize your BEST RACE.

See you all in the morning!!!!  Any questions or concerns, please message me through the Remind App.

Go Bulldogs!!!!!
