QHS Skate Relays!

We will be hosting our relay at Johnsburg Central School in North Creek.  Even though we had a few solid days of practicing on snow at Queensbury, there is not quite enough of the white stuff to withstand a couple hundred racers.  However, the snow and race course up north is should be prime.  Here is race day information...

Bus leaves QHS at 7:45 am -
If you have skis stored in the school, please arrive a bit early to give yourself time.  The bus should arrive at Johnsburg a bit before 9:00.  The course is a 1K loop (mostly flat, with a couple short hills) that each skier will do 3 times before tagging off (3K).  This means each team of 3 racers will ski 9K total.   

Schedule of Races -
- 10:00 - All high school girl teams
- 10:50 (ish) - All high school boy teams
- Modified boys and girls race (combined) to follow high school girls.

Wear your team warm up jacket if you have one because they look awesome!  Also, the same for those crazy Queensbury Spandex suits!  Avoid bulky loose clothing for racing as it makes you slower.

Volunteers -
- Please arrive by 9:30.  I would like to touch base quickly to make sure we have the following covered... timers (5-6 people), bib collectors (1), floaters (2-3).

 
The course is set at JCS! I Know it's not Queensbury, but it is my Alma Mater... Remember, JCS is in North Creek.

See you Saturday and get excited!
