Meet Information

3K Middle School Course Map

Coaches check the assignments for Navy and Silver. We are open to some of the Navy schools to run in the Silver race to make the numbers balance better. Our goal is trying to allow everyone to run on the 29th. We are allowing 7 runners for the JV Race and then the remaining JV runners can run in the coed race at the end of the meet (3K). We will be giving out 300 medals in the meet. We have bathrooms in the auditorium and in the school. T-Shirts will be sold at the meet, and Kona Ice will be at the meet. If anybody has any questions, email me or text me at 404 788-3415. We are giving a load of trophies out at the meet. We are hosting the State Sectionals for 4A Regions 5-6-7-8 and 7A Regions 5-6-7-8 on Oct. 31 at East Jackson.
