NM XC Weekend: The Short List

It's a short list because the vast majority of teams are headed to one, and only one, place--Rio Rancho High School.

The Rio Rancho Rams will be hosting well in excess of 1000 athletes--and very possibly over 2000 athletes, total--at Saturday's extravaganza. Almost every top-tier program in New Mexico will be there, but not quite all of them. Some mystery will be retained until the next time teams converage on Rio Rancho.

To sweeten the pot, a couple of New Mexico's finest small school programs will be running up in the large school division. Those would include the Laguna-Acoma boys and the SFIS girls. Best wishes to those teams as they take on the added challenge of running against their large school friends.

The time schedule for events at Rio Rancho HS is as follows:

7:00am Packet Pick-up Begins (in front of Football Field House)
8:30 Coaches' Meeting (in stadium all coaches pick up packets 
before meeting)
9:00 Boys C-Team (All Divisions unlimited entries) [not chipped timed]
9:30 Small School (1A-3A) Boys Varsity (limit 7 runners per team)
10:00 Large School (4A-5A) Boys Varsity (limit 7 runners per team)
10:30 Small School (1A-3A) Girls Varsity (limit 7 runners per team)
11:00 Large School (4A-5A) Girls Varsity (limit 7 runners per team)
11:30 Boys Junior Varsity (All divisions limit 7 runners per team)
12:00pm Girls Junior Varsity (All divisions limit 7 runners per team)
12:30 Girls C-Team (All Divisions unlimited entries) [not chipped timed]

The Jamboree isn't the only show going on--just the biggest show of them all. Hobbs will be hosting a meet in their corner of the state, and Rio Grande will be hosting in the Albuquerque area.
