2010 LKC Cross Country Championships

At 4-H Campgrounds in Mineral Wells

Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2010

 

Dear Cross Country Coach,

 

Williamstown High School is pleased to host the 2010 Little Kanawha Conference Cross Country Championships on Wednesday, Oct. 13, at the 4-H Campgrounds off of Butcher Bend Road in Mineral Wells (same site as the Chick-fil-A Invitational).

 

Because of the conflict with the WVU-South Florida home game on Thursday, Oct. 14, the meet was moved up a day in order to secure the services of the River City Runners and the dozens of other helpers needed to put on a championship meet. I hope this change does cause you any major problems. Below is a summary of the days’ events:

 

Date:       Wednesday, October 13

Schedule:   5:00 p.m.   Varsity Girls’ Race

            5:45 p.m.   Varsity Boys Race

            6:30 p.m.   Awards Ceremony

 

Awards:     Medals for 1-24 in each race. 1-12 will make the LKC’s All-Conference team and will be honored at the conference’s banquet in May. 13-24 will be named to the 2nd team. There will also be a runner-up team plaque awarded in each race. The championship teams will receive their trophies at the banquet in May as well.

 

Course:     Is the same as the Chick-fil-A Invitational and the MOV Challenge course. Pretty much flat with some rolling inclines and one small hill.

 

Miscellaneous:    1) There will be no separate JV races. Run all of your athletes in the varsity race, your first 7 to finish will the only ones that will count in the scoring. We will be using a computer scoring system. Please submit your entries to TimeToEnter.com by 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 11.

 

You may fax your entries to 304-375-6194 or 304-485-5122 by Saturday, Oct. 9, if needed. 2) Admission ($5 per person) will be charged at the front gate for all spectators Coaches make sure you have your coach’s SSAC pass to gain admittance. A concession stand will be made available beginning at 4 p.m. and Image One will provide one-of-a-kind LKC t-shirts for sale so please ask your runners to bring some extra cash with them.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me ASAP!!

Just in case I don’t get an opportunity to talk to you on race day, thanks in advance for all you do for our conference and for the sport of cross country. Regardless of what some people in the media may think, it is the fastest growing sport in our area and that is because of dedicated coaches like yourself.
