​All,
We have a tentative 2 week! race plan.  This Saturday, Sept. 19th, Cougars will be racing East High and Chugiak High.  Arrival time to Kincaid is 1pm.  This will be a time trial pursuit format and the fastest racers will be sent onto the course at 2pm.  The most likely scenario is that we will send 2 runners out at a time every 10 seconds.

We again ask that any spectators refrain from entering the start and finish field, wear masks, and practice social distancing out on the course.  If you see a spectator headed for the field do us a favor and guide them out towards the trails to the North of the parking lot.  If we can't control spectator access at these initial meets I fear it will limit our ability to allow spectators at meets later in the season.  

We're trying to show that spectators should be allowed at the regions and state meet.  Your compliance with these guidelines helps us make that case!

The meet on September 26th will be a Quad meet.  It will likely be a time trial pursuit and Service is scheduled to start racing at 10am.  Please don't show up to Kincaid this Saturday until 1pm!!!

Regards,
Coach Kiskaddon

Meet information for the meet at Kincaid tomorrow is attached.  Please give it a quick review so we can make this 1st meet a success and continue having a competitive season.
Please note the following:

• Spectators are allowed but must wear a mask and stay off the field where the start and finish line are.  The course follows the mize loop which can be found by walking north from the large lower parking lot next to the scoreboard.  Please be a role model for all and practice social distancing.
• Varsity Athletes are schedule to go first at 5:15pm.  Varsity athletes should be at the parking lot at 4:25pm to be Covid screened and get their number so they have the full 45 minutes to do their 15 min warmup jog, 15 min drills, and 15 min stretching, spikes, and striders routine.
• All non-varsity athletes should arrive at the lower parking lot next to the scoreboard by 4:30pm.

Regards,
Coach Kiskaddon

This Saturday's meet will be held at Kincaid. At this time, Service will run at 4:30 p.m. Please stay tuned for more details and understand that the schedule may change.
