NOTICE OF CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR:

As stated above, we are having two relays per gender this year. This is in an attempt to maximize ath- lete participation and minimize the addition of time to the meet. Only one team from each school will be scored and medaled in each relay. These relays we add to get some extra kids into the meet, allowing for 16 more participants than a standard meet.

We will still have the Open 1600 with the preference of placing extra distance runners in the event, but you can put whomever you choose in the events as you see fit. This event is for athletes who are not participating in any other event.

WE WILL ALSO BE ADDING 4X800M RELAY TO THE MEET.

Thank you if you have any ques ons please contact one of us.
