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."

Linked below are all of our times for the year in a spreadsheet updated with Conference and Central Hardin results. PR's are highlighted, and only XC meets with accurate distances were used for PR's, but all races are listed.
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!!!
