Varsity will be seven runners, all others will run JV race.  Top 4 teams from the region qualify for the state meet (11:30 boys, 12:00pm girls) November 5th, at Carrollton.  Any of the 12 on the state roster may run as part of the 7 at region or state.  There is no JV race at state, but we encourage any team members to come with us on the bus to support the team.

Bring:  UNIFORM, sweats (handed out Friday afternoon), shoes (training and spikes), socks, water bottle, gloves.  Pack the night before and double check to be sure you have everything.  Set your alarms and have a backup person to be sure you get to Grady on time.

Weather should be clear, but cool (40o F).  Come with an open mind. Any conditions are perfect for us to race.  No excuses, resolve to run well!

Eat a very light breakfast - granola bar, banana, ½ bagel, OR something like that.  Just take the edge off, don't expect to use the food for energy.  Drink well the two days before.  Go to the bathroom just before coming to Grady.  The ride to Mercer is only 15 minutes.

Awards will be given after the JV races, around 11:00.  I hope you can all stay and even ride back with us on the bus.

Go Grady Knights!!!!
