Re: Logan XC Meet
Good question! I have been informed that we are to have the meet at the new high school site - where I have no idea. We do not have the surface NOR the area. We would have to do a loop - de - loop course. Also, it would be difficult for anyone to watch. Besides, the surface is a danger to anyone racing - I am afraid of ankles and legs being broken. A farmer with land next to the school property had given us permission to use his land, BUT it, too, needs some work. At the past course I have had three men with tractors and a bulldozer for assistance. At the course around the school I will have NO assistance.
At our past site, though many liked to whine, cry, and bellyache about the 100 meter hill on the course, a person could stand at the starting line and watch all but about 300 yards of the race. The course was, basically, flat with a few rolling plains in there, and was visually quite a pleasing site. We had bathrooms and plenty of parking space. The lone entrance allowed for us to collect admission which allowed us to pay for our sport. In my mind, in spite of the hill, it is the best site for the course.
I plan to meet with some people next week and see whether we can postpone the inevitable change until we can get a course designed and established.

Re: Logan XC Meet
Why would they do that? You had a beautiful site for a course.
Reminds me of a time when I was coaching college and the college AD wanted me to have a repeated figure 8 course where runners would be dodging each other at the intersection point...
Amazing.

Re: Logan XC Meet
The Logan Cross Country Chase will once again be at our usual site - for one more year. HOWEVER, the date has changed to October 7th - a Thursday evening.

4:30 p.m. - girls varsity
5:10 p.m. - boys varsity
5:45 p.m. - girls junior high
6:15 p.m. - boys junior high
We will give ONLY championship plaques to winning teams
Individual awards will include gold medals to the first seven, silver to the next seven, bronze to the next seven. Everyone will receive a ribbon and a "cross country is #1" sucker. The varsity championship coaches will also receive an award. Entry will be done via Baumspage. Also, invitations will be e-mailed via "My-OHSAA."
