WEST VALLEY COED CROSS COUNTRY INVITE  

OCTOBER 9, 2009

 

Dear Coach:

            West Valley High School would like to invite you to the sixteenth annual West Valley Coed Cross Country Invitational.  After years of dealing with SAT tests and youth football conflicts, we have decided to move the meet to a Friday evening twilight meet.  Remember, the primary purpose of our invitational is to allow athletes from throughout the Northern Section an opportunity for a mid-season tune-up on the NSCIF Championship course.  Hopefully, our meet will fit into your schedule.

            For this mid-season competition, we will use a team scoring format combining boy and girl finishers from each school.  Four separate races will be run, with individual awards available for those teams that do not have both boy and girl runners.  However, team scoring will be determined by adding the times of the top three (3) boy and girl finishers from each school.  Athletes not in the top three become eligible for individual awards.  Team scoring will take place at both the varsity and junior varsity levels.  Our intent is to promote team support between the boy's and girl's programs.
