Warrior Mile – Wed. Oct. 27, 2021


West Torrance High School – 20401 Victor St, Torrance, CA 90503
Transportation: All athletes will arrange rides. There will not be a bus for this race.
Athletes arrive no later than 5:25pm.

Schedule: From the race director: “the “seed” times are an estimate” https://storage.googleapis.com/anet_user_files/meet/xc/204009/Warrior_Mile_Schedule_-_Sheet1.pdf

Live Results:; https://live.athletic.net/meets/11613

Other notes:
The first heats are always LARGE!  In 2019 we ran 5 heats with 70+ kids but the last two boys and girls heat we will keep at 20 or less. 
Music will be playing and we encourage kids, coaches, parents, etc to come down on the track to cheer.  
NO SPIKES ARE ALLOWED – only XC race racing flats.   
We use chip timing so every kid will get 400m splits.
