Meadowbrook XC Meet
Our second meet is this Thursday, September 27th at Meadowbrook Middle School.
The exact schedule of events was not indicated but will likely be the same as the Bernardo Heights event with 6th grade girls at 4:00pm followed by 6th grade boys. Then all 7th graders will start together followed by all 8th graders.
The Course is: MeadowbrookCourse.
Once runners leave the school grounds at Meadowbrook they need to stay on the sidewalk. At the top of the cul-de-sac there is a very narrow opening where there will be volunteers standing to guide the runners on to the trial. The trail is a wide open area with lots of room for spectators. Parking will be very difficult. You may want to park on Frame Road across the street from the school and walk.
All participants should plan to arrive 20 minutes before their race time in order to have time to warm up an get an ID sticker.
If you are in the 6th grade Academy you will need to be excused early from PE so do not leave anything in the locker room. All Academy students who are excused early must be checked out through the front office. You should leave Black Mountain no later than 3:15pm in order to have enough time to get to the meet, warm up, and get a ID sticker for the race.
