Look at the schedule below. Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to warm up; I'm confident we will get way ahead of schedule.
The meet is at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker. 






I may update this same post later with more info, and/or heat sheets.

Go Sabercats!

Parking at the Liberty Bell

If you are going to the Liberty Bell and plan to drive, you might find this helpful.
Parking can be very difficult and there are places you might get towed. Look at the map below.
My personal recommendation would be to take the bus (2pm today, 7:45am tomorrow), and then catch a ride home.
If you do drive. Get there plenty early.

Liberty Bell heat sheets

Transport Reminders:

Bus today (Friday) leaves at 2:00pm
Bus tomorrow (Saturday) leaves at 7:45am
No return bus either day

JV Championships entries


Coach Pfeiffer, Baker, and I sat down and fine-tuned our JV Championship entries. Look over this entry list very carefully. There are some changes from what you've seen posted the last couple of days, particularly the relays. You'll notice the entries are now listed by event and not by name. To ensure that you find your name do a ctrl+F  (command+f on a Mac) search on your computer and all the events you are should be highlighted.

Significant changes

  • If you are not on this list anymore it is most likely because you are ineligible. If you know that you are not ineligible, and you are not on the entries please email me.
  • Katie Cruz (sorry to single you out): you were on this list earlier, now you are not. That is because all the events you could do you will likely be doing at the varsity league championships
  • We changed up the relays a lot. In some cases we have two relay teams. At some JV championship meets we have been allowed to do this. We will have to wait and see tomorrow if that is possible. If so, great. If not, we'll roll with the punches.
  • Some of you are in up to 4 demanding events. Some of you may be asked to add an event late in competition. That is championship track season. Welcome to it!

Dakota Ridge Invite Entries

This entry has been edited significantly from when posted this morning... Nothing with the entries has changed.

There was some doubt, but the varsity meet at the Dakota Ridge Invitational is officially on for tomorrow. Events will start at 10:30am with field events and fast heats of the 3200m.

There is no longer a schedule for this meet, so we have a rolling schedule. As soon as one event ends, the next will begin. The times I have on the entries list are approximate times. They might come way before, or even after. My feeling is that we will get way ahead of schedule.



Significant changes to tomorrow...

  • Start time is now 1030
  • Bus and transport
    • Bus will leave CV at 815. Riding it is optional
    • There will be no return bus
    • Athletes may drive themselves
      • For directions to stadium, click here
      • Morning field events and AM 3200m runners get to stadium by 915
      • 4x800m runners get to stadium by 915
      • 100/110 hurdles get to stadium by 1010
      • Everyone else 2 hrs before event (again the time schedule provided above is only an estimation)
  • Prelims for the 100m, 200m, and 100/110h have been eliminated, so it is finals only
  • The changes don't affect too many athletes on the track except for the 200m runners. If you are going to prom you are definitely going to miss that race. If that is your choice, we coaches have no problem with that. 
  • This will run like the meets we are used to, except it will start later, and begin with a fast heat of the girls/boys 3200m 
  • Field events: at first there was 3 throws/jumps + finals, then last night they switched it to 4 throws/jumps, but now this morning it is back to 3 throws/jumps + finals. So stay tuned, and stay flexible with what is thrown at you
  • And finally, if you are competing tomorrow, be ready for anything...There might be delays...The meet could run really fast...Coaches might pull athletes out of events....Anything could happen...

TJ Twilight info

Hopefully this post will answer any and all questions you have on the meet tomorrow.

You are released from class tomorrow at 1:25.
The bus will leave at 1:45.
All competing athletes will take the bus to and from the meet.
No practice for JV athletes.

The TJ Twilight is a...unique...meet. It is different than any other meet that we go to during the year. We see schools we typically don't see, and they have all levels of talent. We get to run under the lights, which we only do a couple times every season. The meet has a wild-west, free-for-all feel to it, but that gives is a lot of character. The stadium is great, and more than a few athletes have said the track is fun to run on and feels "short". Boys events go first, and then girls, which takes a little while to get used to. Heats are also ran fast to slow (like last week). Infield rules are not strictly enforced, or at least not consistently which I know you athletes (and some of us coaches) will like. There is no check in tent for track events--just report to the clerk to the starting line (the clerk is also the guy that is hosting the meet, so forgive him if he seems frazzled). Field event officials at TJ are an interesting lot, and vary greatly in their ability and interest in running the events. Any problems with field event officials are usually outweighed by the excellent competition we see at the field events. Coach Johnston has said that it is almost guaranteed that we will not finish one of the throws, and I cannot disagree with him. Track and field events at TJ are always running late, which makes the schedule below a mere suggestion. In fact the meet director has already said that the last race will probably not go until around 9:35 (that means you guys will be getting home pretty late).
So, in summary, tomorrow's meet will most definitely not be the best run meet you have ever been to, but it may be the most fun you have this season. The key is to stay relaxed and not let the environment distract you from what you are trying to do: get your best mark of the season.

The Stadium

Parents this is mostly for you, because athletes will be on the bus to and from the stadium, but here are directions.
All City Stadium (it is visible on the North side of I-25 and is part of Denver South HS, and tangent to Washington Park.
Directions can be found here

A different note: fundraising

Remember your fundraising. I still have packets for a few athletes that were missing on Wednesday, you know who you are. Come see me and I'll get them to you.
Packets are due on Tuesday. I typically don't like to take these early, but I was so thrilled that one of our seniors had already taken care of it that I accepted it. Nice job Kylie!
The great thing that come from this fundraising...
  • Funds go to future events of CV track and field
  • You get fantasy points (5 points when you hit $50, 2 more points for every $10 after that)
  • Carina Esslinger. Do I have to say more??? Let's help her and the family out!


Thanks you guys,

Coach Nack
