Hi Runners and Parents,
Congrats again to everyone for a strong start to the season. It's time to compete!
Thursday we will have our first race against HS 1327 (drake) After hours of work on permits and insurance and more paperwork, we secured Indian Valley College for our race!!! This is crazy considering weeks ago we thought all meets would be time trials at school tracks only. If for some reason this permit is pulled we will have the race at Redwood on a totally on-campus course using the same warm-up and race times.
Athletes will have 1:45 pm dismissal from class for pods 1, athletes in other PODS might not need as early of dismissal due to the staggered race schedule which is unusual for Cross Country (5 races instead of 2). Pod 1 runners will miss all but 10 minutes of 3rd period and need to email that teacher this week to let them know ahead of time and ask about making up work. ATHLETES DO NOT WAIT! Send that email now. Pod 2 & 3 runners can leave class any time after 1:45 pm to get to the race on time.
Boys pod 1 and girls pod 1 must be at Indian Valley College by, 2:30 pm for warm-ups, the first race will start at 3:30 pm, the second at 4 pm. Athletes need to stay for the race after theirs to do their cool down and cheer on teammates. Athletes should have lots of warm layers to wear. You must bring warm-up pants or sweat pants and sweatshirts and your team jacket. You should wear Red, grey, white and black. NO BLUE OR GREEN. Our team mask order apparently was lost, so the company sent us matching plain grey masks as a stand-in so we can match but athletes can wear any safe mask of their choosing during this race. Team gaiters can be worn OVER masks for warm-ups and cooldowns.

We cannot have any fans at this first race 3/4. Only parent volunteers are permitted. This rule may change as we progress through the season but the conditions of getting these permits were NO FANS at all. Please make sure you are following this rule as it may affect our permits for our races on 3/19 and 3/26 that are also at Indian Valley College.
Indian Valley College - 1800 Ignacio Blvd. Novato, CA. Once you arrive at the college head all the way into towards the sports fields. Parking lot 6 will be designated for the meet.
Athletes must put masks on before exiting the car and until running. Athletes will wear masks at the start line and will be allowed to pull them down after the first 100 meters. Athletes will pull masks up immediately after crossing the finish line. No parents or family members should exit cars. Athletes will race in their 'racing' pods of 10. We will have 3 boys races and 2 girls races. All athletes should stay and support the team that races after them. Athletes need LAYERS. It will be cold.
On Wednesday at 7 pm we will have a parent meeting on zoom. I will talk a bit about the team and this season and answer questions now that we know more information. After this, all parent volunteers will be asked to stay at the meeting and I will go over the jobs for the meet. Thank you all who volunteered, we ended up with more than we need and will go over that in the volunteer meeting as well.
