THE 10TH KENWOOD CROSS COUNTRY CLASSIC

 

August 23, 2008 Heritage Park Clarksville, TN

Coaches,

Your cross-country team is invited to participate in the 10th Kenwood Knights Cross Country Classic!  Due to some uncontrollable circumstances with reserving the park through the city, we had to move the meet from September 6, 2008 to August 23, 2008 at Heritage Park in Clarksville, Tennessee.  We hope this change is not too much of an inconvenience to you and your team and we would humbly appreciate your participation in our race this year. We will provide plenty of water and ice for you athletes at this event. The course is a great course to kick off the new season! It is mostly flat and fast with some gentle rolling hills.  The high school races will compete over the 5K distance, while the middle school race will be approximately 2.5K (1.5 miles) in length.  The meet will be sanctioned for Kentucky and Tennessee, with other states to be invited upon request.  We ask that buses and spectators please park behind Kenwood Elementary School, which is adjacent to the starting line.  Directions to KHS are available on our association website,

Invitational details are listed as follows:

 

SCORING:

We will be having a single high school race for each sex, as there is no separate JV division race.  However, high school teams may enter an unlimited number of runners.  The first five finishers from a school will be scored as the school’s scoring team, with all other runners from that school designated as non-scoring (“exhibition”) runners.  Non-scoring runners are still eligible for individual awards.  Former Kenwood Coach Charles Babcock will direct the meet. Hy-Tek Meet Manager software will be utilized in the scoring of the high school races.

 

 

 

AWARDS:

High School (Boys and Girls):  Team trophies presented to the top 2 boys and girls high school teams. 2008 Kenwood XC Classic T-shirts will be awarded to the top 50 finishers across the line in each high school race.  The overall winning individual will also receive an individual trophy. 

Middle School (Boys and Girls):  Team trophies will be presented to the top 2 boys and girls teams.  Individual medals will be presented to the top 40 boys and top 40 girls finishers as they finish.  The overall winning individual of each race will also receive a T-shirt.
