State Competition

The state competition will be Tuesday, October 14th at 4:30, but participants should arrive by 4:00 to get their name tags, course map and review the course.  At state tags etc are supplied by the association not the coach so that a bit different.

LOCATION:
Big Cottonwood Regional Park 
4300 South 1300 East 
Millcreek, Ut 84117 

Directions: Please be aware that if you type Big Cottonwood Park into navigation- it DOES NOT take you to the park. Directions from I-15 are take exit 301- 4500 South towards Murray. Turn right onto 4500 south (2.4 miles). Turn LEFT onto 1300 East. There is an smaller parking lot on the left- you can park there if you like. If you head up the hill past the softball fields (on the left), there is an entrance on the hill that will drop into a larger parking lot that has the most parking. Walk across the grass to the west side of the park for the race start location. 
Parking for the meet is best on the East side of the park. This is near the softball complex. The entrance is off of 1300E

                                                   VOLUNTEERS:

If you can parents please volunteer to help man the course.  Click here for the volunteer sign up.  (FYI at posting the owner of the document shared it but didn't make it so viewers could edit.  So if you can't put you name on it, please check back I have requested that bug fixed).  Volunteers are to be to the park by 3:30 --I know crazy impossible with school getting out at 3:20.  So just get there as soon as you can and don't sign up for something that requires early arrival like t-shirt sales or directing visitors to the start line. 

T-SHIRTS:

State Meet championship shirts will be for sale at the race.  The front will be the same as last year and the back will say "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" by Steve Prefontaine.   T-shirts are $8  cash or check only.  If writing checks please make them payable to Lakeview Academy.


AWARDS:
The top 10  individual runners overall will receive medals (here's to hoping our team members come home with medals)
