Jungle Run Announcement Brian McMahon Aug 27, 2008

Information regarding the Jungle Run:

Important Jungle Run Announement:

Because of the overwhelming number of entries, compared to the past, we have made a slight alteration in the schedule for Saturday's Jungle Run.  We will be adding JV Divisions to the meet.  Teams have the option of entering their top seven in the Championship Races or Invitational Races and then running everyone else in the JV Races.  Or, if so desired, teams may run their top seven in the Championship Races, their second seven in the Invitational Races and everyone else in the JV Races.  You have compete flexibility.  We will be contacting coaches over the next couple of days to inform them of this change.  
 
Time-wise, we will start at 6:15, instead of 6:45 and anticipate finishing with the races about 40 minutes later than usual.  Because we are using HYTEK software for results, we anticipate being done much earlier than usual, since we have tabulated results by hand in the past.
 

Any individual JV awards will be passed out as athletes exit the chute.  

 
We apologize for any inconvience this may cause.
 
The entry list will be online by Wednesday night.
 
If you have questions, please contact Jesse Autry at svxc@hotmail.com or call at 910.257.7560.
