Although our practice meet was designed to primarily train the volunteers, your Youth and Intermediate coaches were so impressed with all of our athletes! They are SO much fun to watch!!

 

Please know that for the regular season, there will be more time between events which will make for smoother and longer transitions as well as more rested athletes. We appreciate all of your support as we worked out the kinks. 

 

For the home meet next week with the Heritage Valley Blazers, our athletes have many more options. 

 

The order of running events is:

3200 

Hurdles (they must be cleared by a coach on Tuesday to compete)

4×100

1600

400

100

800

200

4×400 (free event – NOT counting towards their total)

 

Field events will include:

Long Jump

High Jump (they must be cleared by a coach on Tuesday or Thursday to compete)

Shot Put (they must be cleared by a coach on Thursday to compete)

 

The total event total is 4 (the 4×400 does NOT count), three of which can be running. If an athlete exceeds their event total, they will be disqualified for all of their events for that meet. We will try to monitor this as best we can, but ultimately the athletes themselves need to be aware of their events.

 

If they have an event or skill they are serious about improving upon (i.e., relay, speed development/starts, long jump, shot put, high jump, strength) they should try to attend a specialty day or two that focuses on that skill. 

 

Information for March 11th:

 

Arrival time: 7:45 sharp on the field

 

Start time: 8:30 

 

Sign-ups will be on the clipboards starting Monday. If they are not going to attend the meet, please have them draw a line through their name.

 

Starting with our first official meet next week, you will find the results posted on our website.

 

Thanks again for all of your support!
