This is it.
The biggest meet of the year.
Continental League Championships.
We see the teams in this competition a lot, but it is exciting to see it come down to just the 12 of us without any outside interference. We need each athlete's best performance. Reflecting on your goals from the beginning of the season, as we did today, is an important part in the process.
Have you surpassed, or are you on pace for your goal?
What technical aspects need to happen to hit your performance bests?
What can you do this week to help you get to the height of your current potential?

Many of you have put in a lot of hard work to get to this point. Some of you will be going on to compete next week at state. However, the past and present don't really matter here. What matters is your focus and ability to compete on Thursday and Saturday at the height of your abilities. Any coach on this team will help you in whatever way we can.

Here are the logistics for this week's meet:

  • The meet starts on Thursday and ends on Saturday
    • the two day format allows athletes greater rest
    • it also lends flexibility in scheduling
    • should the weather not be ideal on Thursday the competition will be moved to Friday
  • The meet is at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker
  • School excusal and buses
    • Thursday
      • athletes will be out of school at 1:40
      • bus leaves at 2:00
      • athletes can drive themselves
        • must be there 2hrs prior to event
    • Saturday
      • Much different schedule
      • Athletes are expected to be at the meet from beginning to end
        • clear your schedules if necessary
        • meet should be over by 2:30
      • Bus leaves school at 7:20

NOTE       
Due to the importance of this meet, both as a League Championship and as the last chance for athletes to qualify for State, we tried to incorporate plenty of time between events in order to give athletes a chance to adequately recover and be ready for their next event(s).  As a result, we will adhere to the starting time for each event and NOT move ahead of schedule.

Meet Entries

Some of these are bound to change so check back. Remember: we are maximizing scoring. It's hard to limit some of you guys to only 4 events. It's a tough, but fun challenge. (Pink type indicates predicted placement in this meet based off your best marks of the season)
