Welcome to the 27th annual Muskrat Invitational Cross Country Classic! This year’s meet will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2014, at Algonac High School. As in the past, there will be two divisions for boys and girls, along with JV and middle school races. A contract is on the next page. Please contact Jamie Thiede, our athletic director (810-794-4911, ext. 1260), with any concerns regarding payment.

There will be first place, runner-up and third place plaques for boys and girls in each division. Medals will go to the top 40 male and female runners in each division. In the JV races, the top 30 in each race receive medals with ribbons going to the next 100 runners. In the middle school race, medals will go to the top 15 boys and 15 girls along with ribbons to the rest.

We will again be using a computerized scoring system this year. We are asking you enter your team on athletic.net. by 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 4.
