Course Map and Parking Map

Schedule:

8:00 am bus leaves Hillcrest

10:00 am Girls 5A race

10:30 am Boys 5A race

Parking and admission:

Spectator parking will enter the first gate of the complex. 

Spectators will be charged for parking to enter the venue. Fans will not be able to enter the venue without parking the facility. Vehicles with two-or-less individuals inside the car will be charged $10; vehicles with three or-more individuals will be charged $20. RV’s and other oversize vehicles will be charged at $40, due to the use of multiple parking spots. Vehicles will be issued wristbands at the entrance gates for the corresponding numbers of individuals inside the vehicle. Parking passes can be purchased on the UHSAA GoFan online ticket portal at https://gofan.co/app/school/UHSAA or purchased at the gate. A convenience credit card fee will be charged as part of the purchase. There will be no cash option for purchase. It is advised for everyone to pre-purchase parking passes to allow for faster parking and entrance into the facility. 

Results All meet results will be posted live to the Internet. As soon as a runner crosses a timing point, those results will be posted live to the results page. We expect the time interval to be less than 10 seconds between the runner crossing a timing point and the result being displaying on the results page. Timing points will be located at the 1-mile, 2-mile and the finish line marks. Results at each timing point will display both the individual positions & times and team positions & score. When results are posted live, at this point they are still unofficial. Once the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals of the top three finishers are displayed at the top of the Overall Full Results page, the results are considered official. Results can be found on the RunnerCard website. 


Rules Reminder 

Assistance to Competitors Coaches, please educate the members of your team, their parents and others that will come to support your student athletes that per rule 9-7-4 it is a disqualification for a competitor who receives any assistance from another person. The most common form of the violation of this rule is when a non-competitor runs along side a competitor during the race (pacing). This has been a problem in the past. It would be unfortunate to have to disqualify a runner for the actions of someone not in the race. Please help by informing those who will be there to support your team. Also, any runner who assists another runner will also be disqualified.

5A Divisionals Information

 The 5A state final qualifying meet will again be held at Lakeside Park in Orem. It will be a wet and cold day and the course will probably be a little chewed up and muddy by the time we race on it after the four 6A races earlier in the day.

The entire team is welcome to come on the bus and cheer on their teammates.

Sufficient layers or water proof clothing will be a good idea this day.  

We will not be able to get school lunch that day with our early departure, so everyone will need to bring their own food.  The timing of the meet makes that better for meal planning anyway.  

There will be 17 teams in our qualifying races, the top 12 teams will go to state.  The top 6 individuals from non-qualifying teams will also go to state.
