Home meet at Vassar Farm: A note on parking

We are eagerly anticipating our home meet on Saturday morning at Vassar Farm in Poughkeepsie. Men's 6km race is at 9 a.m.; women's 5km race is at 9:45 a.m. Senior day festivities will follow shortly after the conclusion of the women's race. We expect six teams to compete, three D1 and three non-D1: Fairfield, Iona and Marist (D1); Hunter College, LIU Post (CW Post) and Post (CT) University (non-D1). The team scoring will be separate D1 and non-D1.

Vassar cross country coach James McCowan asked me to stress to all friends, family and visiting teams that parking will be at a premium at Vassar Farm, due to a multitude of activities there on Saturday morning. Here is a direct quote from an email that James sent to me: "That means we'll be parking all school buses/vans and spectator cars on the upper fields by Vassar Road, or possibly across the street at South Lot on Vassar campus." We will attempt to have a shuttle van to transport those who cannot walk the distance to the course area at the Farm.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.
