A highly ranked (nationally) Indiana team will typically attend this meet, as will a number of out-of-state teams. Conditions on this course are generally very good and race times tend to be very fast. We will approach this race with the intention of running hard and working on our grouping, as well as (hopefully) producing some fast times. The Freshman (only) race is not likely to be very large as most HS girls teams don’t tend to be large enough to field a complete Freshman team. I would expect the Freshman race to include 3-4 teams and maybe some individuals. That means the Freshman race won’t be a very competitive situation, and definitely not a race that mirrors the JV and Varsity races. This race provides an excellent opportunity for experience at the 5k distance, but without the pressure of a hugely competitive race. This is likely to be a fairly large event and large events at Sawyer always carry the possibility of a “parking fee”. I would expect there to be a parking fee at this meet (probably $5). Once you arrive, look for our tent somewhat away from the main tent area, closer to the swimming pool complex. Directions to EP Tom Sawyer (from Assumption): 1. Take I-264 (Watterson) east to the I-64 2. Take the I-64 east, toward Lexington 3. Take the I-265 (Gene Snyder) north – go under the Gene Snyder and curl around onto the Fwy 4. Exit the Gene Snyder at the Westport Road offramp 5. Turn right onto Westport Road (at the end of the offramp) 6. You’ll drive under the Gene Snyder and past Springhurst 7. Turn left at the 1st light after Springhurst (Freys Hill Road – there’s a Thornton’s on your left) 8. Continue down Freys Hill Road, EP Tom Sawyer is on your right side 9. Relative to the main parking lot, we always try to set up our tent in the grassy area that’s fairly close to the pool and alongside the jogging path.
