Meet Information

Dear Coach,

On October 1, 2011, Cypress Woods HS will be hosting its 2nd Annual Cross Country Invitational and we would like your teams to participate. The Course will be flat and fast with minor elevation changes and will be a great opportunity in many ways. The meet last year was a huge success and we would like to put on another quality event for you this year. If you are interested in participating, please send me an e-mail and let me know what divisions you will be participating in. The meet will be limited to about 16 teams in each of the Boys and Girls Divisions. There will be a Championship Varsity Boys and Varsity Girls division that will be a 5K for both genders, a Varsity Boys/Girls White Division (girls 2 mile, boys 5K), Junior Varsity Boys/Girls, Freshmen Boys, and an Open division that your extras and any JH/MS athlete can participate in. Please pass this on to your MS/JH coaches and encourage them to pass it along to their athletes as it will be a great event.

Awards: Trophies will be awarded to the first 15 finishers in the Championship division and medals will be given to the top 15 finishers in all of the other divisions (minus the open race). A plaque will be awarded to the first place team in each division except the Open Race.

Results: Results will be compiled using Hy-Teks Cross Country Meet Manager program and will be posted on www.texastrack.com and www.txrunning.com. In addition, they will be available at the meet prior to your departure given there are no technical difficulties. No times/places will be taken in the Open Race. It will be the Coaches responsibility to time each of their athletes.

Entry Fees: $50.00 per Boys team and $50.00 per girls team, to be mailed in advance or to be paid upon arrival to the meet. There will be no charge for any MS/JH runner in the Open Race.
