Be watching for my email with Covid compliance form.



There are two entrances. Coaches/athletes use the north entrance between safe room and concession stand. Spectators use the south entrance at the ticket booth at the west end of the football field. Please keep your team properly distanced from the team in front of you until they enter the team gates. There will be NO food service at our meet.

All must be screened. Spectators will be screened at the ticket booth entrance. Coaches of each team must check their athletes before entry and turn in a signed form with all names of athletes and coaches for assuring that all questions/screenings have followed ADH and AAA guidelines.

Face coverings are required for all upon entry and during the meet for all except for competitors during warmup, race, and post-race cool down. Covering is required once breathing has returned to normal after a race.

Athletes are to remain at camps unless warming up or competing. IF room is available in the bleachers for social distancing, spectators and athletes may be in the proper areas. Social distancing and masks should be the normal practice if along the course in any area. The infield is off limits until after the final senior boys runner has completed the race at which time we plan to have an awards ceremony. ADH/AAA guidelines of social distancing and masks should be followed at this time as well.

Starting boxes will be six feet wide and your runners will line up vertically in your assigned box to allow for social distancing. No masks are required during competition.

Inform your athletes, staff, and spectators to utilize protocols including using provided sanitizer when using facilities.

Rattler Cross Country Course at Diamondback Stadium/Shorty Wright Field

Park in the church parking lot one block west of football field north of Highway 10 or in the parking lot south of Highway 10 just east of the high school.

The Rattler Cross Country Course is just east of the football field.  Our course is made up of multiple surfaces including grass, mud, shale, pavement. It allows for so many great photo opportunities with nearly 90% of the course visible to coaches, parents, and fans. There is plenty of room to walk out and see the course from various perspectives. It tends to be an athlete and a fan favorite.  It is built for speed with no harsh turns or hills and lots of long straights. 

Team camps will be set up in the home bleachers, north of the home bleachers, south of the football field in the visitor bleachers or along the fence line under the trees, and north or east of the safe room gym. The course runs through the camps so keep athletes off the course during races. To walk the course, arrive prior to 3:00. Course should be clear by 3:50. Coaches share the responsibilities of making sure your athletes follow guidelines. Keep them at camp as much as possible. Help keep your athletes moving upon finishing the race. Coaches should fill out and return cards to limit the amount of touches.

The course is 1.5 miles for each of the four races.

Show up and compete! But try to arrive after 2:30 and before 3:00  to avoid highway congestion. If you arrive after 3:30 more parking opens up close to the course and at the gravel parking lot south of the highway across from the football field.
