Awards:

Awards are sometimes given to the top 7 runners in each varsity race. This is dependent on the meet host.

Historical Notes: The SEC is split into two divisions; the Red and White, with the larger schools competing in the "Red" division. In the 2000's, Saline, Bedford, and Pioneer dominated the SEC Red Division, with Saline taking 3 of those championships. Saline took the first championship of this new decade, and this race will tell us about our chances for 2011.

The course is flat with two treks up a short but steep hill. There is a 1.5 mile loop that is run twice. There are several sharp turns and 3-4 drainage ditches that go through the course and must be run through (they are dry unless it rains). The kick is downhill into the finish and the finish comes quickly so start early.

Schedule for the Day: TENTATIVE

Return to SHS (approx.)	8:00 PM

Meet Notes:
-This is our 1st Jamboree Meet. All twelve schools in the SEC will compete in the same race, with each school entering 10 runners, although only the top 7 from each school will affect scoring.
-This race will determine about 1/6 of the final conference standings, so it is important, but not as important as the last two Jamborees.
- Huron is hosting the race at Willow because of concerns regarding their home course at Buhr Park. Many schools in the area use the course for the conference meets, so it is a good benchmark.
- In the Reserve race, we will see just how our depth compares to other outstanding programs.
