What a great meet on Saturday! It was amazing to see how well the team competed.
This week, April 29th (Saturday) is League Finals, which is being held at Buena High school (8:30 start). This will be a very large meet with 3 other teams. All athletes can participate in this meet – there is no qualification required. However, there are a few rules that dictate what events an athlete can run.
- Normal event limits (4 total events, 3 of which can be running, 4×400 does not count towards event limits).
- You must have competed in the event in a previous meet. You can NOT compete in an event for the first time at the League Finals.
- If you have qualified for the VCYTC Championships in an event, you can NOT compete in that event at the League Finals. IE., Top 9 (laned running events (100, 200, 400 and hurdles) or any field events qualify, along with athletes who are in the Top 12 in any distance events, (800, 1600 and 3200).
- Relays are open to all athletes, as long as you have not qualified for the VCYTC Championships in the following events. i.e., if you are in the top 9 in the 100m,or 200m you cannot participate in the 4×100 at the League Finals. Same goes for the 400, if you qualified to run it at VCYTC Championship, you cant run the 4×400 at League Finals.
Please check Athletic.net on Monday to see where athletes rank.
For athletes that do not qualify for the Conference Championships, this will be the last week of practice. We will be posting a list of athletes who qualified for the Conference Championships as soon as all of the results are loaded into Athletic.net.
