Dear Coaches & AD's

I look forward to seeing your teams compete soon at the Cumberland XC Classic. Please review the info below and the attached race day instructions.

Please note the Meet website, cumberland-xc-classic-2018.blogspot.com

Results will be posted on this site AND news of a postponement will be posted, if needed. 

*At the present, weather.com is forecasting gloom & doom for Thursday, meet day. If on Wednesday the likelihood of severe weather is a strong possibility I will post a postponement by 2pm (Wednesday). If there appears a reasonable possibility that we can get the meet in on Thursday, then I will hold out till 1pm Thursday to make a decision. IF you don't see a postponement on the Meet website, then we are a go.

*I will also email if postponement is necessary

If the Meet is postponed we will re-schedule for Friday. In this case we will need to slightly adjust the start time for each race, in order to vacate the starting area prior to activity related to the evening football game.
