Team/Scoring/Entries: Varsity races are limited to 7 runners while all other races may have unlimited entries. Your top 5 will score and your top 7 will displace other runners.

Incomplete teams will not displace complete teams in combined races. Timing will be computerized using the Hy-Tek system. Entries must be submitted on the attached Excel spreadsheet.
