Important Schedule Change

A few days ago, we were informed that another group had also reserved Dublin Jerome High School for a large cheerleading event on the same day as our State Cross Country Championships.

Unfortunately, this happened because of a flaw in the Dublin City Schools scheduling platform. It was not the result of human error on our part, the cheerleading organization's part, or the school administration's part.

Because the available parking could only accommodate one of the two events, school administrators made the decision to keep the cheerleading event on Sunday and move our championships to Saturday, October 24.

This was certainly not the outcome we wanted. We had everything scheduled, organized, and ready to go. Over the past two days, we have worked tirelessly to rearrange schedules and make the necessary adjustments to ensure the championships can still take place.

I truly hate having to share this news with you. I realize that many of you have already made plans, arranged travel, and scheduled your weekend around Sunday's event. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this unexpected change may cause.

The good news is that nothing else changes except the day. The race schedule, location, and everything else will remain exactly as planned.

We will be ready to welcome everyone on Saturday and provide the same outstanding championship experience that our runners deserve.

I know how much these kids have been looking forward to this event, and I sincerely hope this change will not prevent them from participating.

For those who have made hotel reservations, you will be able to move your reservation to Friday evening or cancel it if necessary. Please contact your hotel directly to make those arrangements.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, October 24, at Dublin Jerome High School.
