Invitational Meet This weekend – 2-day Meet!!!
This week is a 2-day meet, The Valley Youth Conference Invitational held at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster. Please copy the event schedule below so you will know the order of events. It is very different than the regular meet schedule The top 8 athletes in the 100 and the 4X100 relay will return on Sunday to compete in a final. We do have a new event on Sunday. The 4×800 relay will be ran for this week only!!
You can choose events on either, or both, days but athletes will be restricted to 2 events and a relay or 2 relays and 1 event.
Medals will be awarded at the meet to the Top 3 over all finishers in each event, (not in each heat) , with all others getting their ribbons at practice. This is the only time that all 17 teams will compete in an open meet.
It is a very competitive event and not all athletes will enjoy it. It is a a great meet to get P.R.’s, but it is extremely long and competitive, and some athletes may not be ready for it. Please decide if you want to try this meet.
No Coaches or parents will be allowed in staging or on the field except, Sub Gremlins and Gremlin Coaches, they can escort their athletes to staging, all others will need to be more independent with no help to staging so please decide if your athlete is ready for this type of competition. Please check with the coaches if you are unsure.
Saturday will start promptly at 8:30 am and last until about 5:00 pm if you do the 200 meters. This is a very long day but you will not have to be there all day, depending on the event you choose, The 100 meters will be earlier than usual and The 4×100 relays will be later than usual so your do not have to be there first thing in the morning. It will be very hard to judge the time frame but here is a rough estimate of when you should arrive. Athletes will need to check in with coaches and pick up a bib, they must wear this bib for all races
We will be doing 100 meters races on both sides of the fields so Juniors will start their 100’s right after the Hurdles –Sub Gremlins, Gremlins and Bantam will start right after the 3000 on the opposite side of the filed ! This is a great meet to see some fantastic racing so plan to come early and enjoy!!
