Dear Jaguar Cross-Country,

Below is the information on Regionals this Thursday. Please arrive by 10:00 A.M. and follow the instructions given by the meet director. Race times: Boys 11:15, Girls 12:15.

Only the top 7 athletes compete with 3 alternates:

Boys: Alek, Max, Julian, Peter, Will, David, and Sam. (Alt: Thomas, Jack, Finn)

Girls: Haley, Lauren, Rachel, Madison, Harper, Olivia, Damierah. (Alt: Audrey, Sylvan, Alex)

1. We asked that no tents be erected so to avoid athletes gathering under them, this will be in effect next week as well.
2. Parents to park in designated parking lots only. They were parking along the road past mini golf, narrowing the road to one lane which was causing issues for your traffic controller for those going in and out.
3. Athletes need to stay off the course during warmups
4. Spectators need to stay in the designated areas.

Regional Championship Time line for Thursday April 15^th, Please adhere to this to allow for course set up and transition to the Northern Region Event.
