Region Pics and Results

Crazy proud of our TNHSXC family.  Boys continue their tradition sending runners to State all five years we've been in existence.  Been a bumpy season, but at least I get everyone of them back! They 5th in an incredibly tight race (only 14 points away from not qualifying and 13 points away from Region Runner-up! One point out of 4th, four points from 3rd). My girls ran tough - Faith battling back from mono, and Maggie ran her best race ever missing by one spot. Bittersweet moments with my three senior girls. I love you all. And, proud dad moment - my 7th grade son Lane pr'd and is going to State!!!  

Keep the pics coming in, and be on the lookout for State Meet info throughout this week.

Region Eve

Good morning TNHSXC family.  This email contains the most recent correspondence from the Region meet manager.  They have pushed the times back 10 minutes, which only affects our girls moving their start to 9:40 CST.  Note the $5 per car fee and the course closures.  

We will LEAVE TNHS at 7:00 EST.  If anyone is not caravanning, be sure you are on site at least 90 minutes prior to the start.  Boys need to be there by 7:30 CST, and girls need to be there by 8 - 8:10 CST.  Do not mess with the added stress of arriving late!  

Meet Manager message:
Coaches, we've adjusted the schedule slightly by adding an extra 10 min. per race to ensure that race times remain on schedule, see schedule below.  If there are any concerns with the new schedule, please let me know. 

Region 2 Schedule: Central Standard Time

We appreciate those that have submitted their XC 113 forms electronically. There is a link to this form on milesplit.  Please make sure you bring them to the coaches meeting on Sat., if you are unable to submit them electronically.  In addition, there is a link for the inhaler form on milesplit, if needed.

We've attached an updated map of the course that emphasizes the 5K course in green.  The map also addresses parking for buses and spectators, tent city locations, and spectator restrictions. 

 Spectators will not be allowed on some parts of the course, this section of the course is to the right of the red line on attached map. 

Athletes are able to warm-up around either tent city locations or their lane (coaches will draw for lanes at registration).


Location:
Phil Moore Park is located 3 mi.south of Greenwood High School and straddles US 231(Scottsville Rd). It is exit 22 off I-65. The 5K course is primarily a natural grass surface with some gravel in areas prone to washout (hill and underpass). Attached below is a map emphasizing the 5K race in green. The course is set-up and available for practice anytime.  The map also addresses parking for buses and spectators, tent city locations, and spectator restrictions.  Spectators will not be allowed on some parts of the course,the course to the right of the red line on the map is prohibited.

Parking: 
There will be a $5 parking fee per car. There will be no charge for buses.
 Buses will drop off runners and park on the south side of 231, which is the primary entrance to the park.  All personal vehicles will need to turn to the north side of 231, directly opposite the main entrance sign.  Car parking will take place in a large grass field and spectators will need to follow the path under the highway to get to Tent City and the start/finish lines. In the name of safety, please use the walkway under the highway. See map above for clarification. 

The course continues to be available for practice this week and that includes Saturday morning before Class AA starts."  



All of the paperwork is in, pasta eaten and sweet new team clothing distributed.  Just one easy shake out, some strides and little visualization practice between now and the start line.  Let's take care of our runners, feed them well, and get them plenty of rest tonight.  

I love these kids, and I can't wait to see them crush it tomorrow.  Erase any doubt and believe!

Region Week

Good morning TNHSXC family.  It is REGION WEEK!  This is an exciting and nerve wracking time of year.  The kids have worked crazy hard to get to this point and will be laying it all on the line Saturday morning.   Thanks so much for everyone's recent contributions - putting on a fantastic Conference Championships, driving kids to Bowling Green, or nursing them back to health!  Our runners thrive with your support - thank you.  

Thursday, 10/27 - 5:30 Region Team dinner at TNHS.  I will cook pasta for the Region Teams and hand out their sweet gifts.  We will hang out, stuff our faces and watch some inspirational running movies.  Will be finished by 7:00. 

Friday, 10/28 - 5k Shake out run, strides, stretch/roll and put legs up!!! Run this day. 

Saturday, 10/29 - Region 2, 2A Championships, Phil Moore Park (Central Time)
Coaches meeting - 8:30
Boys race - 9:00
Girls race - 9:30 

We will LEAVE TNHS, like driving away, at 7:00 a.m.  It's roughly 90 minutes down there.  Which would put us there at 7:30 CST.  That is an hour and a half early, but also gives us a little wiggle room in case of traffic (there are many miles of construction on I-65).  

Here are the directions -  Google Maps Link

The attached inhaler for is also linked HERE.  It must be signed by representative from your child's Dr.'s office if they will have an inhaler on site at all.  If they go to Physicians to Children here in town, then please respond and tell me so.  I will fax those over tomorrow morning.  Let's get these taken care of ASAP.

Pasted below is the info/instructions from the meet manager - 


"Coaches, this is additional information regarding meet instructions.  Please read through and relay to athletes/parents/spectator so there are no violations during this important meet. Most of this is also addressed via Milesplit per class, which also includes map of course and parking.  Later today, I will send  a map of park, highlighting additional aspects addressed below, in particular course restrictions. 
Parking:  The buses will park in the parking lot at main entrance.  They can drop-off and pick up their athletes in parking lot.  NO parking on the side road that is parallel to the course (as was the case for Gatorland Run).  
Parents and spectators will park in the lot across the the street (same they did for Gatorland Run).  There is a $5.00 per CAR to help us pay for the officials and awards.
Warm-up Location: 
Athletes are NOT allowed on the course for warm ups. In addition, athletes are not allowed to warm up in the center of the starting line area.  It is marked accordingly. Athletes are allowed to warm-up in their lane (coaches will draw for lane assignments at coaches meeting) and the open spaces around tent city 1 and tent city 2, which are located to the left and right of the starting line.   Please inform athletes that when they warm-up, that they must be going the opposite direction of runners in the race, to prevent runners from pacing other runners in a race. 
Course Restrictions:
COACHES, please tell you athletes and parents, that no one is allowed past the Red and Blue candy cane ropes during the races.(will send map later today).  This includes being in the forest area.  NO ONE is allowed on the course during the races.
COACHES:  Each team will be given two coaches passes for the course.  Please share accordingly between races if you have more than two coaches.   
Coaches Meeting/Awards:
The Coaches meeting for each set of races (A, AA, AAA) will be immediately after the completion of the girls races at the starting line. The AWARDS program will be after the coaches meeting.  Please be patient while the race results are being completed and checked by the meet officials. 
Pavilion Restriction:
Unless coaches are picking up their registration packet, the Pavilion is only reserved for officials and Hytek operators.  Please make sure assistant coaches, athletes, and parents are aware of this. 
Photographer's Pass:There will be a photographer's pass for any community photographer (not for parents or athletes using selfies) to be located in the chute area on the far side of the chute.
Regional Course is open for practice by any teams this week.
We appreciate Coach Art Sciubba's time and dedication the last few weeks in ensuring the course was safe and ready for teams to preview/practice on the course prior to the Regional meet. 
Concessions and  KHSAA Regional T-shirts will be available."

I'm sure you'll hear more from me as we approach the weekend - I've been running virtual meet previews and color coding all of our closest competition to use in our meetings this week (I might be freaking out a little).   Here's to our kids running their best this Saturday.  Let's do this!!!
