This Week's
Track Meet
We
are
away
this
week
at
College
of
the
Canyons.
(its
almost
a
home
meet
however).
This
meet
is
called
an invitational meet,
this
is
unlike
any
of
the
other
conference
meets.
Each
week
the
Conference
host
between
5
and
6
track
meets,
this
week
they
host
1.
All
athletes
are
invited.
there
are
over
2,200
athletes
in
the
conference, fortunately many
athletes
are
away
this
week
for
Spring
Break.
it
is a
2
day
meet
and
last
year
we
ran
until
7:00
pm,
we
are
going
to
try
to
get
done
much
earlier
this
year.
We
will
be
pushing
to
get
the
athletes
through
their
events
this
weekend.
Please
download
the
event
flyer
above
to
see
the
schedule
of
events.
The
Field
events
are
ran
as
an
timed
open
pit,
which
means
that
athletes
must
complete
their
trials
during
the
open
time
for
their
age
group.
They
can
check
into
those
events
and
should
try
to
not
leave
for
other
events,
but
in
order
to
get
the
meet
done,
the
running
events
take
priority
over
the
field
events
due
to
the
nature
of
the
timing.
We
will
need
some
volunteers
at
this
meet
so
please
Click
here
to
sign
up
to
volunteer,
We
will
have
fewer
spots
at
this
meets,
all
clubs
pitch
in
to
help.
We
will
have
a
planning
meeting
Monday
evening,
so
our
list
might
change
Tuesday
morning.
Please
check
back
then.
I
need
to
stress
that
Athletes
can
only
do a
max
of 2
individual
events!!
they
can
add
1
relay
to
that
for
a
total
of 3
events.
Please
ask
your
coach
if
you
have
any
questions
about
the
number
of
events
this
week.

appreciate
your time
and
support!

Relay
Expectations
Many parents are
asking how
relays are
determined, here
is a brief
description on
how this is
done. There were
some very
disappointed
athletes at the
meet because
those who did
not stay, or
arrive on time
for their team!
Those who were
there will
defiantly be on
a team this
week.
It is very
important to the
team that if
your athlete
signs up for a
relay that they
are at the meet
and checked in
before 8:30 am
so the coaches
can assemble the
teams. If your
child is signed
up for a relay
and does not
show up or is
late, it
will effect
every other
relay runner,
and disappoint
those who can
not compete.
This is the only
event that we
are strict on
signing up for.
Please don't
sign up for the
relay if your
athlete can not
compete in the
event.
Criteria for
relay team
assignment.
1) coaches
discretion
2) attending
practice
3) able to hand
off smoothly
4) Time in the
100 metes at a
meet
All of this is
considered when
coaches put
together their
teams (A-Team,
B-Team, C-Team,
etc...).
If you have any
questions about
this please
speak with your
age group coach
or Coach Elaine
|

Communication
Boxes
The
communication
boxes will be at
the track on
Monday and
Tuesday this
week for picture
pick-up, and on
Wednesdays &
Thursday for
your athletes
meet ribbons.
