Meet Information
COACHES: IF YOU HAVEN'T MAILED YOUR CHECKS YET TO THE AUSTIN, TX MAILING ADDRESS - PLEASE BRING YOUR ENTRY FEE CHECKS TO MEET ON SATURDAY INSTEAD!
Below is the race assignments for Saturday's MileStat.com XC Invitational for the varsity races (A & B) and the JV races (#1 & #2). We have reached a total of 85 schools and 2,444 athletes, which are both all-time records in meet history for entries! MileStat.com and Lee-Davis High School's cross country team are excited to host you all at Pole Green Park this Saturday!
Since I've been out of the loop down in Texas running the national site for MileSplit...I've gone pretty much on season best times alone for the varsity divisions team selections. If you feel strongly about your team moving up into the "A" race from "B" and your team was on the bubble, I likely won't have a problem moving up. If you are on the bottom end of the "A" race among the last 10 teams in and want to move down to "B", I will likely not object either. Just let me know.
Also let me know if you have a full squad (more than 5 runners) entered that is missing and not shown below in the race assignments. If you entered a group of individuals less than 5 in number, then wouldn't be shown on below race assignment list. I will have 2-3 starting boxes for individuals specifically in each race.
For the JV divisions, just like I've done in the past...I've put the out of area teams in the first division race since they have a longer drive home or accommodated those who have homecoming dances that evening.

2014 MileStat.com Cross Country Invitational
Date: Saturday, October 18th, 2014
Meet Location: This year's MileStat.com Cross Country Invitational will be held at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville, Virginia. Pole Green Park has been the home for the Central Region Championships over the past decade and hosted at USATF Junior Olympic Nationals Champions, but had yet to have a large weekend invitational on its course grounds until last year's meet. We believe bringing the MileStat.com Invitational to Pole Green Park will give us a course which will handle many more runners and teams as well as spectators and parking. We know this course ran run fast as shown in many Central Region Championships and we expect the competition that we bring to this meet to make it fast. Pole Green Park will also likely be a site for many future regionals and conference championships in new 6 class system re-alignment.

Use the below as a map guide for parking. There will be meet officials directing buses and spectators to specific areas to park. Please be aware that there will be other sporting events going on at the same time at Pole Green Park on the soccer/football fields and softball fields, so some of these lots will be filled or utilized by those people attending those events as well but the parking lots closest to the XC course will be virtually all those attending the XC meet.

Keep dogs at home: Dogs have no place at THIS cross country meet. One year someone let loose their greyhound who ended up jumping into one of the races and could have taken out and injured some runners. Keep the hounds at home.
DJ & Music: We will have a DJ on-site at this year's meet providing pump up music to create an even better meet atmosphere.
Trash: Please have your athletes police their area and make sure no trash is left when your team is leaving the park. Trash bags are available in your packet and extras will be available at the team packet pick-up table. We are fortunate to have this venue to host this event and we need to make sure we keep this beautiful park clean!

Below is the race assignments for Saturday's MileStat.com XC Invitational for the varsity races (A & B) and the JV races (#1 & #2). We have reached a total of 85 schools and 2,444 athletes, which are both all-time records in meet history for entries! MileStat.com and Lee-Davis High School's cross country team are excited to host you all at Pole Green Park this Saturday!
Since I've been out of the loop down in Texas running the national site for MileSplit...I've gone pretty much on season best times alone for the varsity divisions team selections. If you feel strongly about your team moving up into the "A" race from "B" and your team was on the bubble, I likely won't have a problem moving up. If you are on the bottom end of the "A" race among the last 10 teams in and want to move down to "B", I will likely not object either. Just let me know.
Also let me know if you have a full squad (more than 5 runners) entered that is missing and not shown below in the race assignments. If you entered a group of individuals less than 5 in number, then wouldn't be shown on below race assignment list. I will have 2-3 starting boxes for individuals specifically in each race.
For the JV divisions, just like I've done in the past...I've put the out of area teams in the first division race since they have a longer drive home or accommodated those who have homecoming dances that evening.

Parking: There is NO fee for parking at Pole Green Park! There will be two nearby lots (one smaller gravel lot closest to the course which will fill up early and another nearby adjacent large grassy field for majority parking). No buses will be permitted to park in the gravel lot and will need to park in the grassy field. Both parking areas are close walking distance to course and there will be parking volunteers directing you where to park and where for buses to unload and pick up.
Use the below as a map guide for parking. There will be meet officials directing buses and spectators to specific areas to park. Please be aware that there will be other sporting events going on at the same time at Pole Green Park on the soccer/football fields and softball fields, so some of these lots will be filled or utilized by those people attending those events as well but the parking lots closest to the XC course will be virtually all those attending the XC meet.
Trainer & EMS on-site: We will have a certified trainer and EMS unit on-site for any injuries or emergencies. Please bring your own athletic tape. We we will have a sweeping gator utility vehicle in every race to pick up any distressed or injured runners on the course.
Keep dogs at home: Dogs have no place at THIS cross country meet. One year someone let loose their greyhound who ended up jumping into one of the races and could have taken out and injured some runners. Keep the hounds at home.
DJ & Music: We will have a DJ on-site at this year's meet providing pump up music to create an even better meet atmosphere.
Trash: Please have your athletes police their area and make sure no trash is left when your team is leaving the park. Trash bags are available in your packet and extras will be available at the team packet pick-up table. We are fortunate to have this venue to host this event and we need to make sure we keep this beautiful park clean!
