2009 RESULTS:
Hurdles please! thank you very much.
relays please! i have an amazing 4×4 team ready to go
we also have a great 4×1. please consider relays
We are considering Relays at the end of the meets; our concern is just that you might be racing against no one else. We are bouncing the idea around though. Thanks!
any idea on the level of competition for the distance events?
tough to say, I know there are alot of strong college runners around who are home for the summer and quite a few post-collegiate runners who have some talent… also who knows if the stronger high school runners will go all out on the track at this point
I don’t know the facility.
Any chance of a steeplechase?
How about pole vault also??
Thanks for putting on the meets!
Any chance of a steeplechase or pole vault?
Thanks.
We would absolutely love to do the Steeplechase, but the facility is not set up for that, unfortunately. No barriers so we cant even do a dry one.
Pole vault we thought about but the High school and town was not ready to risk that equipment and just the safety factors.
Please think about adding the 110 hurdles!!!
I’m glad that you have it at all… but is there any chance of having javelin sooner than the event on the 20th?
Nice job with meet #1. Very well organized, started at 6PM and done running by 7:30. I’ll be back and bring a friend or two. Thanks again.
I will probably make an appearance to the next time of the 5K run at this meet. How competitive is this meet? Winning times?
I’m glad to see you have a summer track series! I plan on participating in several of the distance races over the series…I hope to bring some other participants as well.
I can put together a 4×4 team that would include my daughter, two sons, and me. There does not appear to be a coed section. Can we run in men’s open relay?
There will be open divisions for families, coed, men’s, women’s, youth…the relay night will be alot of fun and that’s what it will focus on. I’m sure there will be some great competition but we’re all about participation that night and any team can run. To more specifically answer your question, a family can run in any section.
I’d love to run on a 4X400 team. I don’t know anyone else who did that event. I’m a tall guy. i don’t know my time anymore i imagine its probably just over a minute but with competition around me i might be able to do it a bit faster since i could do in 52 secs when i was in HS. email me if you’re looking for a teammate. tallduuude22@aim.com
I am 13. So, will I be with the men open??
Hi Nate,
Technically you will be the “open” division but when you line up to race there will be plenty of athletes your age.
Are you going to be posting the week 5 results? I was interested in the final relay results and field events for my two boys. Thanks.
Hi Mark,
We have some of the week 5 relay night results but not all. We basically have the jumps but none of the times for the relays were recorded as it was exhibition. On second thought I’m pretty sure I have the times I just have to dig for them. Either way I hope to have the jumps results up soon.
