CISVA Cross Country Meet ***10:45 am start!*** Wed Oct 2nd

The school calendar start time was wrong and I just fixed it.  The meet begins at 10:45am so CCS drivers will need to depart for the meet at 9am.  This way we will not be rushed and we will be well prepared for this big event that includes all the CISVA schools.  There is no need to first meet at the school unless you are offering to drive someone.  Please inform Mr. K of your driving arrangements.  Thank you if you have made yourself available to drive another athlete. I will be telling athletes which race they will be participating in on Monday, September 30th. 



Wednesday, Oct. 2nd              (We will leave the school at 9:00am)                      Time: 10:45-2pm
The CISVA Cross-Country meet (Gr. 2-7) is at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. This is a rain or shine event so dress your child appropriately. This meet has a competitive and non-competitive portion. All students will participate in 1 run.  The 4 students with the fastest times from each age group will compete in the competitive run (with the option of the Fun Run, if they have enough energy to do so).  All other runners will take part in the fun run. Cross Country Coaches will decide the 4 runners that will participate in the competitive race.  The distances run will be the same regardless which race your child is in.  The meet will begin at 10:45am and the races will continue in this order:
Gr.2 Girls beginning at 10:45am and continuing boys and girls every 15 minutes. 
Intermediate and Primary “Fun Runs” will occur after the Grade 3s.
Grades 2 & 3     1.2 km                Grades 4 & 5     1.8 km                  Grades 6 & 7     2.4 km

After each meet you may head home after your child has run but only after signing out with the teachers.
