For your track calendars: Air Force High School Open

There are quite a few indoor track meets this winter. If you are wanting to go and have some decent training in your recent history you should think about going.

A list of the winter track meets available locally can be found here.

As discussed previously it us up to each athlete to provide transportation, food, water, and other preparation when attending these meets. I will attend a few of these meets if I know we have athletes competing, but will not attend all of them, and recommend you do not either. The first one I will attend is next Sunday, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

Information for this meet can be found here. (notice that this sheet is outdated--so there are some changes)

Each athlete must pay $20, not $15, for each event they want to enter. This price is a little high (and seems to increase every year!), so please choose an event or two wisely.
You must tell me by Tuesday 1/10 at 4pm that you are interested in attending, and have your $20 entry fee.

Supposing that the schedule stays the same it will look like this...

Keep in mind that, because this meet is on a Sunday, coaches are restricted from having contact with their athlete's in any sort of coaching capacity. So when you see a coach they are there as fans, and not as coaches--as difficult as it may be for them.
