declare the champion. This will be the same for the Junior High
Entry Procedure: The entries will be on tx.milesplit.com, and registration is open at this time. Look for Derek
Hernandez Memorial Relay and register your team. When you go to register, once you get to the screen where
you can edit your entries, figure out how many relay teams and add that many relay teams. I do not need to
know the names of your kids on these teams, I just need to know the correct number of relays. If you have an
odd number of runners, please email me and we will place the extra runner with another runner from a
different team, that way they still get to participate in the relay. If you are having trouble, please dont
hesitate to email me. The cost will be $12 per team and $6 per individual runner. Please make checks
