    General Information
    Our campus provides a 5K (3.1 mile) course that has been accurately measured. The two-loop course is well-
    marked with colored poles at all turns. More than 80% of the course is visible from the central plateau. Most
    athletes have been wearing ¼” to 3/8” spikes, depending on weather.

    Registration and packet pick-up will be conducted at the registration tent in the southern corner of
    Glenwood Jr. High’s parking lot. Bus parking is accessed through the driveway just north of the wooded area
    on Glenwood Avenue and is marked on the map.

    1. Contestant Materials & Verification Form: To obtain your packet, you must present a signed copy of
    the OHSAA Cross Country Coach’s Verification Form (download from Baumspage.com, print & sign).
    Packets will not be distributed before the morning of the meet – but all forms and information will be
    available at Baumspage.com.

    2. Results: Preliminary & Unofficial Results will be posted to www.baumspage.com immediately after
    each race. Coaches will have 30 minutes after release of the results to file an appeal with the Referee.
    Official results will be read over the loudspeaker after the appeals period is over and the Referee has
    certified the results.

    3. Course Inspection: Qualifiers may inspect the cross country course beginning at 2:00 p.m. Athletes
    are NOT permitted to enter either of the school buildings. On meet day, the course may be inspected
    from 7:30 am until 8:45 am and between races. The course must be cleared 5 minutes prior to the start of
    the next race.

    4. Contestant Numbers: Contestant numbers and pins will be provided in your packet. Numbers must be
    worn on the FRONT of each contestant and securely fastened with four pins. Every athlete must run
    with the assigned number

    5. Contestant Chips: Chips will be provided in your packet. Chips must be securely fastened (double-
    knotted) to EACH shoe on EACH athlete. Every athlete must run with his/her assigned chips (the
    number on the chip matches the contestant's bib number.) Chips should be returned by the coach to
    Chip Tent next to registration before leaving the property.
    6. COACHES' RESPONSIBILITY: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH HEAD COACH TO
    ENSURE THAT EACH ATHLETE WEARS THE ASSIGNED BIB NUMBER AND CHIP.

    9. Uniforms: Please review with your athletes the OHSAA Uniform Regulation Checklist (available at
    Baumspage.com) and all current uniform rules. Athletes who compete in an illegal uniform are in
    violation of these rules and are subject to disqualification. It is the responsibility of the athletes and
    coach to have each competitor dressed properly according to rule before competition begins. The start
    of a race will not be delayed to permit an athlete to change into a legal uniform. All final decisions
    about uniforms rest with the Tournament Referee.
