Cambridge Invitational

This meet is a bit different than others, as far as start times are concerned. They begin the meet at 4:15 with the middle school runners. Then when the timers and starters are ready the next race begins. This is called a rolling start. The order of races is listed below. The middle school races are short, less than a mile and a half, so the next race is usually ready to go in 15 minutes. However the subsequent races last much longer. Parking is mostly along the roads bordering the course. The mosquito population seems to thrive in the area so be prepared. The start order is listed below.

1.  7-8 Boys            2400 meters

2.  7-8 Girls            2400 meters   

3.  Girls Varsity      4000 meters

4.  JV Girls             4000 meters

5.  Boys Varsity      5000 meters

6.  JV Boys             5000 meters
