Course:
The course will start on the top plateau of the main grass field. It will loop to the right and end up beside the asphalt path. It will have an in cut near the top and in the middle before heading downhill towards the concrete bridge. It will stay inside the asphalt path and cross the bottom parking lot entrance, followed by running next to the creek. Lastly, it will climb the hill and connect back to the course 200m past the start. It will be a 2000m loop that is run two and a quarter times followed by a finish downhill. There are 2 concrete parts (bottom bridge and in front of the bottom parking lot), which is about 50m of the race total.
MS Races:
There will be a middle school race after high school is finished. They will be racing a 2 mile course which cuts out the second loop of the high school course, but starts and finishes in the same location.

Timing:
PT Group will be chip timing our meet this year. We ask that coaches please gather their teams chips at the end of the race and return them to the timer.
Awards:
We will give medals to the top 10 finishers in ALL races. The top two teams in Varsity and JV races will receive a trophy. The winning team will receive our traveling county trophy. The winner of the trophy will get to keep it for 1 year and will be responsible for adding their winners plaque to the trophy. The trophies are fairly expensive so it is expected the winning coach will take care of it for the year. If the trophy is damaged, lost or stolen, the team that is currently in possession of the trophy will have to buy a replacement.
Middle school awards will go to the top 10 in the race, and the top 5 finishers from Paulding schools will get medals too.
