UPDATE, The meet is now maxed out. Thank you to all the teams that signed up. Once again we will allow 10 per team in the elite division and 7 in the invite division and unlimited in JV
Dear Coaches:
This letter is to cordially invite you to participate in the 13th Annual North Port High School XC Invitational to be held on September 23, 2017. We are hoping to fill the meet completely again with 60+ schools in hopes that this meet will serve as a premier Mid-Season Meet. We will however will cap it at 64 teams due to safety reasons . Once again we will have two divisions (Elite and Invite) We will take the first 32 schools to register for each race. You may pick the race of your choice. Due to the large size of the Invite Division last year we allowed only 7 runners. The Elite Division had less teams so we allowed 10 runners. Depending on the interest of each division that may be the case again this year. When payment is received you will receive a password to register your athletes on Fl. Runners. Large Golf carts will also be provided to transport coaches to mile markers and back to finish. We will also have a coaches hospitality tent which is being catered by SUBWAY…
The course is hard grass, and gravel and there is also 785 total meters on asphalt. The course is very flat and well mark. And we look for some very fast times.
Due to a last minute football schedule change, the Friday Course preview will be limited to 2:30-5:30 and will not include the finish line. We apologize for this conflict.
