2011 Archdiocesan Champs - Individual Results (team results will be available shortly - corrected for error in CB 4th place)
2011 Cumulative Results - thru Champs
2011 Cumulative Results - thru 10.23
As always, our thanks to Cross Country commissioner Mary Ellen Malloy on the fantastic job she does putting the cross country program together. Also, thanks to the volunteers, be they coaches, parents, or CYO XC alumni who helped out every week as marshals. It was a great year all around.
Coaches who are representing runners participating in the post season should bring a copy of the cumulative results and champs results with them tonight (11/1 - St Anastasia's Caf - 7pm) for seeding teams. Given the conditions of the course on Sunday, I doubt there were many times faster at Champs than during the rest of the season, but its possible. My thanks to Charlie Stone of MMR who compiled the cumulative results for us.
Inquiries on the post-season should be forwarded to Mary Ellen Malloy - sunrisexc@aol.com
There are still 2011 Philadelphia CYO Cross Country Championship t-shirts available. Email Mary Ellen or ask your coach to pick one up for you at the meeting if your interested.

CHAMPS PARKING & WEATHER
2 IMPORTANT UPDATES
1.) SHUTTLE/PARKING AT THE MANN IS CANCELLED! - Apologies for the confusion, but they are hosting a circus in the parking lot at the Mann Music Center. We were not aware of this when we set this up. Again, I am sorry, but there will be no parking at the Mann or Shuttle back and forth. All parking will be in the Belmont lots and on streets surrounding the plateau. I encourage athletes/teams to carpool as much as possible and arrive extra early to ensure enough time to get ready for your races. Please be aware of where you are parking, and do not park across the course!
2.) SNOW - Apparently its going to snow Saturday. We are still going to run on Sunday. This is our last chance to run Champs this year. We will be running. Please dress appropriately, as the current forecast is for high temperatures in the mid 40s. Remember, there are no concessions, bring your own hot chocolate! (and some for me)

2011 XC Packet & Biker Plea
I have posted a link to the 2011 CYO Cross Country Packet (includes great information such as rostering rules, important dates, competition rules, and postseason information) on the links menu to the right.
Volunteers to ride the bike each week are needed! One of our main bike riders from last year has graduated and moved onto college, and won't be available every weekend. Right now we have no guaranteed biker. A competent biker rider is essential to the safety and well being of your athletes! Preferably we would like 2 bike riders who could commit to being at the Plateau for all of the races. Having 2 riders speeds up the meet (we can send off races once the path to the woods is clear after each race) and eases the burden on easily the most taxing job come race day.
If you are interested in volunteering to ride the bike, email Mary Ellen Malloy - sunrisexc@aol.com and let her know.
We are working on getting course maps online, once they are ready, I will post them.

Archdiocesan Champs Performance List
Time Schedule-Revised for Shot Put Open Pit
The Open Pit for Shot will be from 8:45am to 9:30am, and is open only to competitors with conflicting running/field events at Franklin Field at the time their age group is scheduled to throw. Athletes who have conflicts with other sporting events/clubs/family parties will not be allowed to throw during the open pit.
SHOT PUT DIRECTIONS -
Walk from Franklin Field toward Center City on South Street. Cross over South Street to the south side of the bridge. Take the stairwell adjacent to the Hollenback Center (the only big red brick building on the bridge). Turn right at the bottom of the steps and head toward Rhodes Field. (see the google map). Shot Put is adjacent to the 2nd soccer field. I have been told that the parking lots that were used last year to access Shot Put will be closed on Saturday. I would suggest that athletes and their families plan to park on the street or in lots near Franklin Field and walk to Shot Put

I'm 3 days late, but track season officially began on Tuesday.
Best of luck to everyone this year!

No one should add a team to the program! If you have a team in your region or area that is not on the current list, please email me and request that team to be added and I will update the meet and send it back to you.
It is very important that you download this new meet set up, as the event order in the program has CHANGED! The event # order now conforms with the order that events are run on the track. Field events are listed at the end of the event listing.
