Good afternoon Coaches,

We are very excited Mohave you all at the 6th running of the Coach Joe McKinney Classic tomorrow morning.

Some quick updates: The weather the last few days has been nearly perfect, we also have been using a pump on multiple cycles to removed 
massive amounts of water out of the back woods. The woods will not be dry, some areas will be pretty firm, some sections still muddy and a couple 
areas will be at most ankle deep (at one point last week it was nearly 300ft of calf deep water). All in all, the woods are without a doubt ready for race day. 
So no changes to the course!

Of course there were already preplanned changes that have been made from year's past, one of these year I will stop tinkering with the course and leave it be. 
A course map video is being uploaded as well as the course map in DA.

The planned scheduled will be:

7:00 AM - Coaches Meeting (Tent City)
7:30 AM - Boys Varsity Race
7:55 AM - Girls Varsity Race
8:30 AM - COMBINED JV

I have numbered boxes and made a random draw last night. We should see that PDF here on DA shortly. Both varsity races will have the SAME number, 
the combined JV races will have another. For the combined JV with boxes, any team with more than 15 total athletes got 2 boxes (a girls and boys JV Box), 
anyone with less than 15 athletes get 1 box for JV.
