Dear Coaches,
Welcome to the 2022 Canutillo Cross Country Meet. Below you will find information you will
need for our meet that will be held on August 20, 2022. We will do everything in our efforts to

can provide a safe environment for all athletes, volunteers, and coaches.
Please make sure to have all entries posted through mile split no later than Thursday, August
18, 2022, by 12pm. Please enter all athletes that might compete. We will not be able to add
athletes at the meet.
Meet Location: Canutillo Middle School, 7311 Bosque, Canutillo, TX 79835
Bus Parking: Please have your buses come in and drop off your athletes next to the Football
stadium. The buses will then go and park at Gallegos Park next to the Swimming Pool/Senior
Citizen Center. They may pull back around after the meet to pick up the athletes.
Start Time: All Coaches need to report to a coaches meeting at 7:40 am near the scoring

order of divisions:
8:00 am Varsity Girls Division, followed by Varsity Boys Division, Open Girls
Division, Open Boys Division, 9 th Grade Girls Division, ending with 9 th Grade Boys division. If
there are not too many athletes in the 9 th Grade boys or girls divisions there is the possibility of
combining them with the open divisions.
Course Map: A course map will be provided with this meet information. Printed maps will not
be available at this meet. Please print out your own maps, and please ask your athletes to do
the same. Course spotters will be placed throughout the course; however, it is the coaches
responsibility to discuss or walk the course with their athletes. Athletes who take a different
course route will be disqualified. No parents or spectators should be too close to the running
course. If the posted course map is changed due to weather conditions or any other reason,
your athletic directors will be notified.
Water: There will be a water station set up for all athletes. We highly recommend that
athletes bring their own water bottles due to the amount of teams that will be present at this
meet.
Starting Line: Please have your runners report to the starting line 10 minutes before their
race. Team boxes will be set up according to the number of teams signed up for our meet.
During the race: During the beginning of the race, please ask your runners to respect each
others space as much as possible. We ask that you also ask your athletes parents/guardians or
any spectators to clear away from the running course inside and outside the campus. If there
are any parents/spectators who are interfering with our course judges directions your team
division running during that time could be disqualified.
Finish Line: Please inform your runners that when they cross the finish line to please follow
the directions from our finish line crew so we can clear the finish chute as soon as possible.
Once they leave this area they may go to the designated water station if they choose to. We
will try to follow this process as quickly as possible so that athletes can get hydrated.
Other Items: We want to run an efficient meet and will not be able to wait on athletes.
Please remind your athletes to stay in the stands unless they are warming up for an event.
They should not be by the finish line or next to the center of the football field when
competition is taking place. All athletes need to stay around the start line when warming up for
the race. They should not stand or warm-up behind the bleachers because that area is part of
the trail. Please avoid standing near the shoot or scoring area. Please remind your athletes
they must be in a school issued uniform. The restrooms are located next to the concession
stand. We would like each school to clean their area in the bleachers before you leave. Please
ask your athletes to use the trash cans so we can keep the field clean. We appreciate your help
in this matter.
The Course: The course will consist of some pavement, gravel, and grass. The course will
measure at 3.1 Miles, so the times will be official times for a cross country course. It is a coach
friendly course, and you will be able to see your runners for a good portion of the race.
Instant results will be available by going to runsignup.com and searching for the meet name,
