Dear Alan,

 

For many athletes this is the last week of practice and competition. If your athlete is a qualified athlete or in the top 8, please check with your age group coach to see which meet you will go to.

 

Open Final Meet (May 3rd)

The open final meet is for all athletes who did not get a qualifying mark in any of the individual events, OR invited to the League Championship Meet (May 10th). It will be held on May 3rd at Heritage Christian High School. This is the final meet of the season for those athletes. (No Intermediates at this event)

 
If an athlete has a qualifying mark in any event or is an intermediate they may not attend this meet.

 

League Championship Meet (May 10th)
All Intermediate and Young Men Athletes plus all qualified athletes and a select few athletes in the top of the league will be invited to the Western League Championship meet to be held on May 10th at Simi Valley High School.

 
The coaches will attend a seeding meeting of the League to finalize the seeding of the championship meet. Non-qualified athletes will fill any open positions in any events by the top 20 list of the league. If you are interested in being advanced to this meet, please let your coach know Monday.

 
Individual Event Championship Meet (May 17th)
This is the final event of the year at the conference level. The top four (4) finishers in each event from both leagues (East & West) and the next marks will be invited to compete in this Conference wide Championship meet to be held this year at Valley College on May 17.

 
This is a 10 lane track, so in the sprint events we will advance up to 10 athletes.

 
The distance events advance 12 athletes, and the field events 8.

 
All advancements to this meet come from the meet on the 10th there are no pass-through athletes, you must attend the meet on May 10th.

 

This is the best of the Conference championship meet.
