Dear Coach,

You are invited to The Lake Hamilton Invitational Cross Country meet that will be on Saturday, Oct. 22nd at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs. The course is all grass, no pavement or gravel, smooth running surface, great visibility, some hills, on site bathrooms, and site of the state cross country championships for 2016. We had over 1400 entries last year and we are looking for similar or more participation this year so it should be a very competitive meet. Because our entries have gotten very large, we will separate into a varsity division and a Jr. Varsity division (JV) in the high school divisions. Under this format, a schools top 7 runners will compete in the varsity division and all others in the JV division. It is not permissible for a school to enter his top 7 runners in the JV division. Check the Lake Hamilton website for final updated time schedule.

** Dri-fit t-shirts will be sold for $20 each; note: we will have ladies fit shirts as well as mens fit.**

Time schedule: Jr.Boys 9:30, Jr. Girls 10:00, Sr. Boys (varsity) 10:30, Sr. Girls (varsity) 11:00, Sr. Boys (JV) 11:30, Sr. Girls (JV) 12:00.

Awards: Individual: Top 30 medals in the high school varsity and jr. high division. The top 5 in the JV divisions will receive medals.

Team Awards: Medals for top 7 individuals on winning teams in high school and jr. high. We will award top 7 medals for the top 5A-7A teams and the top A-4A teams in the high school division. There will not be a team award for the JV division.
