Wheatridge Middle School
Cross Country Meet Information
Since this is the first meet of the season, there are a few procedures/rules that we need everyone to be aware of. We're going to be running at Celebration Park, and although it is close to many of your homes, all athletes who wish to run in the meet MUST RIDE THE BUS FROM WMS TO CELEBRATION PARK. Students who show up to Celebration Park with their parents and DID NOT ride the bus WILL NOT be allowed to participate. We realize this seems bizarre, but it’s the rule, and we have to stick to it!
The bus will be leaving WMS at 9:00am sharp!
Coaches will be at the school ready for runner drop-offs at 8:30am. Please do not drop your runner off earlier than that, as there will be no adult supervision, and we want everyone to be safe!

If an athlete is done and they want to leave, they MUST check out with our manager, he will be at our "base camp" with the sign out clipboard. This helps us make sure all athletes are accounted for when leaving a meet. Athletes are only allowed to leave a meet with THEIR PARENT; no other adult may take an athlete from a meet! If you wish for somebody else to pick up your child, they must pick them up from Wheatridge after we’ve returned from the meet.
