Cross-Country:
Dual Meet Procedure: All West Genesee Varsity/Modified Cross-Country dual meets this season will be held on consecutive Wednesdays. The 'typical' routine for an away dual meet is as follows. 1. Athletes leave WGHS on the team bus at 3:00pm. 2. Once at the dual meet site, teams begin their warm-ups. 3. At 4:30pm the races begin and follow this sequence: Boys Modified, then Girls Modified, then Boys Varsity and finally Girls Varsity. 4. Following a girls cool-down, athletes return to WGHS on the team bus. Athletes are required to ride the team bus home unless special arrangements are made with Coach Vermeulen in advance. In those circumstances, athletes may only ride home with a parent--NO EXCEPTIONS. This is school policy. Home dual meets follow the same sequence. Athletes ride the school shuttle or drive their cars to Camillus Middle School, warm up and conduct their races. Following the races, they are picked up by parents at CMS. Athletes are required to remain at the course site until all races are completed to show team support unless an early dismissal has been arranged by a parent with Coach Vermeulen.
Invitational Meet Procedure: WG's invitational meets occur on Saturday's. Athletes will leave from/return to WGHS except for the McQuaid Invitational where the team bus will leave from and return to West Genesee Middle School. All athletes must ride the team bus to and from these meets unless prior special arrangements have been made with Coach Vermeulen. Meet information for these invitationals will be posted below.
