Please note this revision: Note:  Due to revised National High School Federation Sanctioning rules, registration closes at midnight, September 20, 2009.  No registrations will be allowed after that time, except individuals entered in the TrakShak Open 3K (which is sanctioned under USATF rules).  Registration will be online at www.milesplit.com.

Entry fees are only $100.00 per boys or girls team with unlimited entries.  The elite All American Championship is limited to 10 athletes per team.  You may enter the remainder of your team into the appropriate division of your choice (e.g., Small School/JV race or Large School race).  Due to NHS Federation rules, middle school teams may only race in the Middle School races.

The team races will be sanctioned by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSAA).  Teams must be members of their state's Association in order to enter.  Each race will have unique medals for the top 25 runners and special awards for the top 3 teams.  Please note that for middle school races sanctioning rules require us to limit these races to 7th and 8th graders.  9th graders may also enter middle school races if the 9th grade is housed in the same building as the 7th and 8th grades at the middle school.  No 6th grader may compete on a team. 

 

The Trak Shak All Comers Open 3K race is for individuals only and will be sanctioned by USATF.  Awards for this race will be by USATF age classifications.  Entry fee for this race is $10.00 per person.  Anyone may compete as an unattached individual in the Trak Shak 3K Open Race which is sanctioned by USATF and in which the awards will be made based on USATF age classifications.

 

We have plenty of free parking, so bring the families to cheer on your team!  In fact, tell them to enter in the Trak Shak All Comers Open 3K Run at 7:30 am.  They can register for this run online, on site Friday during your site visit, or Saturday morning beginning at 6:30.
