6 mile relay and eligibility

We start our first full week of official cross country practice on Monday so if you haven't turned your physical and paperwork in yet you'll need to do so before you come out.
I'll send a separate email to those who are not yet cleared.
Currently we have around 45 kids on the team, around 20 of whom are new.
This weekend I'll be updating the website and this blog with information for new runners and parents as well as some info for everyone regarding our schedule.

Our first meet is this Saturday.... It's not mandatory so don't feel obligated if you don't feel ready to run.
It's a four-person 6-mile relay (each runner covers 1.5 miles) hosted jointly by Cal State San Marcos and Escondido High School called the Cougar Classic 6-mile relay.
There are also open, novice, and jv events over the same 1.5 mile course for those not on a relay team.

The entry deadline is midnight tonight (Saturday) so I need to know ASAP who wants to participate.
 
Information about the meet can be found here...

I'll be putting together as many relay teams as are appropriate for the runners who want to participate but I don't intend to put anyone in the open/novice events. This may mean that some runners could get left out of a relay if we don't have a full team for some of the events.  It's a long drive and there will be plenty of other events to run in as the season progresses. I'll be putting together the best teams possible for the varsity runs.

Schedule
9:15 am:  Girls JV Relay
10:00 am: Boys JV Relay
10:45 am: Girls Varsity Relay
