What ATHLETES need to know about Conference:
- The meet will start as close to 4:00 as possible. The race order will be 7th grade girls, 7th boys, 8th girls, and finally 8th boys. Our bus will be picking 7th Grade up @ 2:45 to allow us to arrive at the meet with plenty of time to set up. The bus will return to Still to shuttle the 8th Grade team over next.
- All 12 schools in the Naper-Prairie Conference will be attending the meet. This means 100+ runners in each of the 4 races
- This meet will be scored at the team level, and there will be individual awards handed out for each race as well (Medals for the top 15 finishers, ribbons for the 16th-30th finishers)
