Sign-up for CORK Junior Olympic Cross Country Team

Step 1)

Register your son or daughter as a USA Track & Field Member. If they do not currently have a USATF membership, then wait until Nov 1 st , but no later than Nov 3 rd to register them as a USATF member (registering them after Nov 1 st allows their membership to be valid until the end of 2009). When completing the on-line membership form be sure enter the club number 304 indicating your child will be a CORK team member.

USATF on-line membership form: https://www.usatf.org/membership/application/

Step 2)

Send a copy of your child's birth certificate to USATF-Oregon along with their USATF membership number no later than Nov 3rd. The best way to get the birth certificate to USATF-Oregon is via scanned image sent by email or by FAX. The email address and FAX number for USATF-Oregon is: usatforegon@msn.com and 541-504-1077

Again, include their USATF number with the birth certificate.

Step 3)

Do not sign up for the actual State Cross Country race; rather contact the CORK Youth coaches no later than Nov 3 rd to notify them of your intent to have your son or daughter race at the Junior Olympic meet. The CORK coaches will sign-up the team members for the race via a batch entry form. Note, if you have already signed your child up for the race and would still like to have them race with the CORK team, then just notify the coaches and they can have your child's registration changed to indicate they are a CORK team member.
