Saturday is our practice meet! The purpose of the meet is to train the parent volunteers to run a home track meet and also give the athletes a chance to understand how a track meet works, including event calls, staging and meet flow. There will probably be mistakes and things will probably be a bit bumpy. That is why we do a practice meet – so the parent volunteers, coaches and athletes are all better prepared when our first meet takes place against another club.
Parent volunteers are required to check in between 7:45 and 8:15. We request the athletes be on the field at 8:00.
Athletes need to wear their uniform, bring warm clothes, food and water. Please be sure to label everything you bring with your name. We usually have a snack bar open during meets, but the practice meet will not have any food for sale.
We are running a subset of events that take place at regular season meets. The Youth and Intermediate team will be competing in the Hurdles, 1600 Meters, 400 Meters, 200 Meters and High Jump.
We are shooting to start the meet at 9:00 and assuming everything goes reasonably well, we should be done by noon.
Please remember this is a practice meet, so don’t worry if you’ve never participated in a track meet. We can’t wait to see our athletes compete. Let’s have some fun!!!
