NCS CROSS COUNTRY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
FALL CONFERENCE CALL MINUTES
Thursday, September 20, 2012
Present: Manny Myers, Jim Tracy, Angela Paradise, Peter Brewer, Keith Conning, Steve Gregg, Sean Laughlin and Bri Niemi.
Absent: Chuck Woolridge, Jason Jacobsen, Eddie Salazar and Doyle O’Regan.
1. DATE AND TIMES
Bri Niemi stated that Hayward H.S. would be the site for the 2012 NCS/Les Schwab Cross Country Championships. Discussions could continue to be had regarding Ukiah as a possible site moving forward, however no new information was given to the group. Races would begin at 8:30 a.m. PT and would reflect the race order of the State CIF Cross Country Championships. Niemi noted that the original bulletin posted in August did not have the group’s update in terms of following the exact race and award schedule of the CIF. The group requested that that be changed and the bulletin and website updated.
2. RECORD TIMING
Sean Laughlin was available for questions from the group. It was requested that the mats be barricaded so that runners warming up did not skew race results. Laughlin also noted that he would add a pace clock as well as move his station into the portable adjacent to the finish line. Overall, the group was very pleased with the first year of chip timing last year.
