ThunderRidge Elite Meet Schedule & Standards

This Friday we have been invited to an elite meet over at ThunderRidge HS. This is a new way of running meets, with only six teams invited, but all of the teams are very, very good. (Mullen, Broomfield, etc.) We are lucky to be invited to this meet, which is why I am so excited about going.

The schedule for the meet is below, as well as the minimum marks for entry. The meet director is being very strict about these marks, and I back him 100%. The first reason is we have limited time. It is not an all day meet, just a half day, and we need to get done before dark. So we can't have multiple heats of multiple events. The second reason is that this is an ELITE meet, and non-elite marks should not be allowed. I like this idea. Make the best race against the best, and if you are not the best, than you need to work hard to become the best.

Most of the entries are complete, but Coach Able and I will be working today after practice to round them out. We hope to have them ready by Tuesday at practice. If you do not run in an open event in on Friday, you will be expected to run in the mega-JV meet at our place on Wednesday. That meet will be very important for you, as it is your chance to try and get a fast time to qualify for the standards based Mullen meet next weekend.
