Provo School District's "Running the Race"Provo School District's "Running the Race" is just around the corner! This is an opportunity for your 3rd -11th grade students to compete for a school trophy and individual ribbons in a 1 mile race as Kiwanis Park on Tuesday, Oct 28.
Awards: 30 Ribbons for the first 30 finishers and a Trophy to the school team champions for each race. **Team scores will be determined by adding the places of the first five finishers of each team/school in each race. Each race is scored separately; low score wins and a team/school must have a minimum of five finishers in a race to obtain a team score for the team trophy. Registration: Free but please arrive with plenty of time to warmup and get registered. Participants must be registered 15 minutes before their race times, sooner would be nice. Registration will take place at Kiwanis Park the day of the event. The 2014 UHSAA State Cross Country Championships will be held Wednesday, October 22 at Sugarhouse Park and Highland High School.
Parking Parking in Sugarhouse Park is limited, will be crowded and is discouraged. With races being run throughout the day, vehicle access to the park and leaving the park will be slow. Parking for both buses and spectators will be available in the Highland High School driving range located just south of the school and adjacent to the stadium where all races finish. Use of this lot is strongly encouraged. The lot is accessed from 17th East. Only meet administration will be allowed in the lot immediately west of the starting line. Schedule Races will be run consecutively in the following order. Times listed are approximate: 1A Girls...11:00 am 4A Girls...1:30 pm 2A Girls...11:30 am 5A Girls...2:00 pm 1A Boys...12:00 noon 3A Boys...2:30 pm 2A Boys...12:30 pm 4A Boys...3:00 pm 3A Girls...1:00 pm 5A Boys...3:30 pm Races will start approximately every half hour. Races will not start prior to the listed times. Start times may be delayed by weather or meet conditions. Runners should check in well in advance of the listed start times. When a race is partially through the course, an announcement will be made at the starting line for teams in the next race to assemble. Coaches are responsible for having teams ready to run immediately after the announcement. Qualification Please see the Cross Country section of the UHSAA Handbook, page 70, for qualifying procedures. Practice at State Meet Site No practice is allowed at the site of the state meet within two (2) weeks of the state competition. This includes walking the course as a team or as an individual. Starting Positions A random draw for team starting positions will be done and posted on the Cross Country Page of the UHSAA web-site Tuesday, October 21 and included in your packet. Athletic Trainers and EMT EMTs and athletic trainers will be available at the finish line. If you see someone in need please assist by getting information concerning the location and problem to the start or finish lines immediately. Caps, Headbands, Etc. As per rule 3-2-4-n the games committee has ruled that headbands or knit caps which are unadorned except for school name, nickname, or school mascots are legal. A knit cap or headband may have a single manufacturer's logo/trademark, multiple colors and/or multiple designs. Baseball style caps are not legal attire. If one runner on a team wears a knit cap/headband, not all other runners on that team are required to wear one. For the runners on a team who do wear knit caps and/or headbands they do not have to be identical in design and/or color. Also, sweat wrist bands are NOT considered jewelry. However, if worn, sweat wrist bands must be a single, solid color and be unadorned except for single manufacturer's logo not to exceed dimensions listed for other uniform apparel. Uniform Rule Teams are reminded of the uniform rule from Rule 9, Section 6 of the NFHS Track and Field and Cross Country Rules Book (enclosed) and applicable sections of the NFHS Case Book. A copy of the Rules Book is sent to all UHSAA member schools each year. Please know the rule and abide by it. Rule 9, Section 4, Article 3-b reads: "The head coach shall verify verbally, or in writing, that all of his/her competitors are properly equipped (uniform, equipment, and no jewelry)..." When the coach enters athletes via the internet he/she is verifying that competitors will be properly equipped to meet the requirements of this rule. Assistance to Competitors Coaches, please educate the members of your team, their parents and others that will come to support your student athletes that per rule 9-7-4 it is a disqualification for a competitor who receives any assistance from another person. The most common form of the violation of this rule is when a non-competitor runs along side a competitor during the race (pacing). This has been a problem in the past. It would be unfortunate to have to disqualify a runner for the actions of someone not in the race. Please help by informing those who will be there to support your team. On Saturday, October 11th we will be having the Region 8 Cross Country Championships at Provo Kiwanis Park, 820 N 1100 E, Provo, UT 84604. This will be the same course that we ran earlier in the season at the Pre-Region and Provo/Timpview Alumni races.
Schedule: 9:00am - JV Girls 9:30am - JV Boys 10:00am - Varsity Girls 10:30am - Varsity Boys |
