Meet Information
Dear Coach:
With the restrictions the LHSAA has placed on Louisiana High Schools with regard to hosting middle school races, we would like to invite you and your team to participate in the Christian Brothers School Falcon Invitational presented by Varsity Sports, on Saturday September 23, 2022 in New Orleans City Park.
There will be three races: Girls Middle School (limit to 10 runners), Boys Middle School (limit to 10 runners), and
Open non-scored Boys/Girls Middle school (unlimited). The Open race will be a staggered start to avoid overcrowding. Only five (5) runners will count for team honors. To compete for team honors, the school must have five (5) runners finish the race. Team trophies will be awarded for 1st and 2nd place. You may run fewer athletes if you do not wish to compete for team honors. The top ten (10) individual finishers in all races will be awarded
invitational t-shirts.
