Meet Information
The Columbia Invitational will be greatly improved this year after acting on feedback from last year's meet. Improvements are planned in parking, punctuality of race starts, course layout, emergency medical services and several other areas. What has not changed is the beautiful setting at the historic Rippavilla Plantation. High school races start at 9 a.m.and middle school races will start at noon. Entry fees for both high school and middle school are $50 for one team from a school and $75 for two teams (boys and girls) from the same school. Entry deadline is 11:59 p.m. Sept. 12. We reserve the right to end registration early if the number of entries approaches our capacity. Teams may enter only through the tennesseerunner.com web site. Day of meet entries are at the discretion of the director and if approved, cost $5 per runner in addition to the team fee. Any team that is not registered on tenensseerunner.com will not be allowed to compete. Coaches should enter all runners, including JV. No-shows are preferable to entering a runner on the day of the meet. Send entry fees to Coach Tim Wood, Columbia Central High School, 921 Lion Parkway, Columbia, TN 38401. Entry fees will be accepted on the day of the meet.
There will be no refunds of entry fees. If we can run the meet safely, we will run it. If lightning is detected, races will be halted.
Medals will be awarded to top 20 in both varsity races, both high school junior varsity races, and both middle school varsity races. Trophies will be awarded to top three in high school girls and boys varsity. Up to 100 ribbons per race will be awarded to runners who do not win medals and also to all middle school JV runners. There will be an outstanding school trophy presented to the high school with the combined highest finishes of boys and girls teams.
