Regionals is the only way that you can qualify for the state meet. Your performance on this particular day is all that matters. We are only allowed to race our Top 7 runners. We will be taking (8) runners total (one alternate) because we are always prepared for the unknown. Only the top 15 runners in each race will advance to the State Finals. The top 3 teams will also qualify to run at the State meet. Special MHSAA XC shirts will be available as well (see photos and prices below).
** Note, there will be Div 2 races here also, so expect to see about 30 busses. They will race half an hour before each of our races. Expect the Cider Mill to be very crowded and chaotic on this day. Please plan for extra time to park and exit**
Pasta Party @ Coach Lake's house
Time: 3:00 pm - 10:00 pm
What to bring: Just yourselves! And warm clothes in case we go outside to play.
Address: 6330 Sanctuary Pointe Ct, Grand Blanc, MI. 48439
