Hello Runners and Parents!

Another exciting SJV Cross Country Year is finally here! Our first meet is tomorrow at 1PM @ Overbrook School in Nashville. Here are a few tips for first time runners:

All Four Meets are at Overbrook School 9/21, 9/28, 105, & 10/12*

Parking is $5.00 - It can get crowded - it is best to arrive by Noon.

Coaches Kirby & Corey Gardner and I usually arrive by 11:30 to set up the SJV Tent

Make sure your runners eat a good breakfast and eat something high in "good carbs" about 90 minutes before his/her race. Please bring a drink - water is best - sports drinks are ok to. Lots of Sleep Saturday night is a big help too.


Uniforms: You can use a previous year SJV X-Country Uniform or the SJV PE Uniform/T-shirt. If you do not have either - please wear a yellow t-shirt. I will bring a couple extra.



Order of races and distances are as follow:

Kindergarten Boys and Girls Race 3/4 mile (this race starts at 1 PM sharp)
1st & 2nd Grade Girls - 3/4 mile
1st & 2nd Grade Boys - 3/4 mile

*We do not have any 7th or 8th Grade Runners this year. The last meet of the year is the Championship Race. 7th and 8th Grade runs first the last week - followed by an awards ceremony. Our runners will start about 1:45 PM on Oct. 12th.

A roster and race list is attached.

Last but not least - if you have not paid your $25/fee, please bring it Sunday.
