Directions

· Turn south on Presa to west gate entrance (Henderson Court)
· Go left at west gate entrance and you will be given instructions where to park.
· Gates open at 3 p.m. on Friday and as scheduled on Saturday (see chart under "Meet schedule").

The course inspection will be from 3-6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, and two hours before your division race on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Fees
· Individual fee will be $20 per runner.
· Team fee based on total registered (i.e., 5x20=$100.; 6x20=$120; 7x20=$140 maximum).

For fee purposes, a team will consist of five, six or seven athletes. Please pay prior to or on race day and make checks payable to the UTSA Athletic Department. If the district chair is paying for multiple teams or individuals, please list the names of the schools and the amount for each school on the check, check stub or attached sheet.

Entry information
The deadline to submit entries is 1 P.M. ON MONDAY, NOV. 2. Entries must be certified at the district level and each individual school must send in their entries to Direct Athletics. PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON THE DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON TO DO THIS. The reason we have this rule is that the district chairperson will not have a list of your alternates on the result sheets. You may enter 10 but only can run seven. The 10 that you enter must be certified and be eligible by UIL rules. At packet pick up you must declare your seven runners. The seven that compete must come from your certified list of 10. We will assign bib numbers and chips to all 10 entries. The three extra numbers and chips are to be returned at the packet pick up area when you declare your seven.  If you want to save time at packet pick up you may declare your top seven after the Nov. 2 deadline by emailing Scott Slade at scott.slade@utsa.edu  by noon on Thursday, Nov. 5.
