Dear Cross Country Coach,

Junipero Serra High School would like to invite your team(s) to participate in the 44th annual Crystal Springs Cross Country Invitational to be held on Saturday, October 6th, 2018. The race will be held, once again, at the Crystal Springs International Cross Country course in Belmont, California.

Our entry procedures are the same as last year. Please read the entry instructions on the back page. We will use Direct Athletics to register entrants this year. Their website is www.directathletics.com. You must enter all your eligible athletes on this website under the Junipero Serra Crystal Springs Invitational event. Coaches who do not enter their athletes correctly will not be allowed to compete.

The meet is sanctioned by the Central Coast Section for all schools in California. The Crystal Springs Course is 2.95 miles of rolling hills, all run on trails. The layout of the course is excellent for both runners and spectators. Chemical toilets and drinking fountains are available at the course. A full snack bar will be in operation as in past years. We will again be selling the traditional, long-sleeved, Crystal Springs Invitational T-shirts. There are no dressing rooms, so have athletes arrive ready to compete.

Please respect the private property in the area. Do not go on to peoples property to get water or for any other reason. Please do not block peoples driveways. Coaches are requested to review the enclosed course rules with their athletes and bus drivers.

AWARDS

A commemorative plaque will be awarded to the Top 2 Teams in each race and medals to the TOP 7 on each team. Medals will be given to the TOP 20 in each race not on a 1st or 2nd place team.

ENTRY FEES

15.00 Individual
$ 100.00 Per Team
$ 350.00 Maximum Fee

SCORING

Standard Cross Country scoring will be used. Athletes will be assigned bib numbers and are requested to remove their tags at the conclusion of their race. Our computer will score each race and official results will be posted soon after. All athletes must be registered in order to participate. Absolutely no unofficial entries are permitted. Runners without bib numbers are not allowed to race.

ENTRIES

Enter all athletes on the Direct Athletics website under the Crystal Springs Invitational site. Be sure to spell names correctly, plus provide their year in school. The Runscore program will score the individuals in the race they run. Top seven from each team are scored. The first five individuals score, the next two displace. All VARSITY races are limited to seven individuals. All other races have unlimited entries. Please be mindful that entry fees are based on seven person teams. Numbers beyond seven individuals within a race must pay an additional cost of $15/person. Additionally, please do not enter athletes who will not compete. Entries will be limited to the first 2000 athletes entered. By editing your entries the process of splitting the races will be easier to determine, and allow more teams to be able to compete.

NO ENTRY CHANGES WILL BE MADE ON RACE DAY! If you have an athlete that you want to run Varsity, but entered in the Junior Varsity race, simply run the athlete in the Varsity race because he/she is already in the database. If you have an athlete that is not entered in any race, but would like to run him/her IN PLACE OF an athlete who is entered, simply have the athlete wear the race number of the person he is replacing. Coaches will have to remember that the originally entered runner was replaced.
