FULL MEET INFO

Dear Cross Country Coaches,

Galveston Ball will be hosting its scholastic cross country meet on Friday, September 9, 2016. The entry fee will be $75.00 per team, per gender. ($150.00 for both)There will be two divisions: Division I will be composed of stronger 5A/6A schools. Division II will consist of smaller schools and other large school. If you have a preference please let me know. Both divisions will be divided equally. The course will be on the beach 95 -100 % on packed sand. We will send a map with details as time gets closer. All timing will be done electronically this year. At least 5 student-athletes from the same school must be entered for a team to be considered for the team title. There will be a limit of 7 - 10 runners per school in each varsity division. This should help lighten the JV races. All varsity races will be 4 or 5K. This will be determined by the heat .There is no limit to the number of runners you may enter in the JV and freshmen divisions. Below is a tentative time schedule.

7:30 am All Divisions Check-in
8:00 am Division I Varsity Boys
8:30 am Division II Varsity Boys
9:00 am Division I Varsity Girls
9:30 am Division II Varsity Girls
