You may enter your top runners in either the Championship Race or the Varsity Race but not both. If you run in the Championship races, then your JV will run the JV-A races.
If you run in the Varsity races, then your JV will run in the JV-B races.
Please note that if you choose to run in the JV-C race and have already run in another JV race, per the GHSA that counts as 2 JV races on your schedule.
We will accept the first 25 schools in each race (Girls and Boys Championship, Girls and Boys JV Races, Girls and Boys Varsity). We will allow teams that ran in the meet in 2012 to declare first.
From 5/15-5/21 on www.millcreekcrosscountry.com there will be a form set up for teams to declare if you want to run the race if you ran in it last year.
You will also declare what races you want to sign up for, but it is first come first serve; please sign up early so the race you want to run doesnt fill up.
From 5/22 on, the remaining spots will be filled from any other teams wishing to participate (check the message board on gatfxc.com for info).
DECLARING DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET IN!
We will notify teams and post a list on www.ga.milesplit.com as well as the Coach Wood page on www.millcreekcrosscountry.com.
Any teams that declare but are not among the first 25 to declare will be placed on a waiting list.
We will be using www.ga.milesplit.com again this year for entries.
Once the meet is set up, you will be able to go online anytime and enter your entire roster of potential athletes.
You do not need to designate which race they will run in-the number they are assigned will work in any race they run.
You will be assigned to the race you signed up for, unless notified otherwise.
Remember, if your top runners are in the Championship races, your JV will run the JV-A races.
If you are in the Varsity races, then your JV will run the JV-B races.
Race entries are first come first serve.
Once a race is full, it will be closed and any other teams that wish to enter will have to race where there are spots available, if there are any available.
