COACHES:

At the packet pick up on Friday, November 19, all coaches will pick up individual envelopes assigned to each competitor. Each competitor's envelope will include the following:

• Two NCAA National Cross Country Championship numbers to be pinned on the front and back of the competitor’s singlet.

• Two hip numbers (individual competitors) or two hip letters (team competitors)

• Sixteen safety pins

• Two ChampionChips

Upon completion of the race, each coach will be responsible for gathering each of their competitor's Chips and return them to the designated area near the finish line. Personnel will record the return of the Chips. If a Chip is lost or simply not returned, the school will be invoiced for the replacement chip at $30.00 per chip.

Exercise care not to lose or damage Chips. Replacement Chips will not be issued.

RUNNERS:

Pin your race number to your uniforms in the appropriate locations (front, back, and both hips). On race day, attach the Chips to your racing shoes using your shoelaces. Make sure you are using the Chips that were assigned to you.

There will be NO finish chutes, only a finish line and corral. Your finish time and place will be determined as your Chips cross the finish pads at the finish line. Your finish place will be checked with the Finishlynx computer image and video reviewed by the NCAA Committee.

After exiting the finish corral, remove Chips and return them to your coach. Your coach will then be responsible for the return of all Chips to the appropriate personnel located near the finish line. If a Chip is lost or simply not returned, the school will be invoiced for the replacement chip.
