Good Morning Everyone!
Apologies for the late message, there has been a lot of chaos going on with the league meet so I wanted to get final info before sending anything. If you did not hear, Orange Glen will not be remodeled in time to have us back again this season. Which leaves us to find an alternate location for the remainder of the season.
We will have to play by ear for the rest of the meets, but this week we thankfully secured San Pasqual HS. They have a brand new track which is awesome!
For both meets this week I can adjust entries up until tonight. Please let me know any changes by the end of practice today at the latest.
Pacific League Meet #5:
3/16" Needles:
With them having a new track, it is a strict 3/16" needle only. Many of you have been fine with 3/16" "pyramids" so far, but this will not be the case Thursday. No needles, no race, no exceptions since it is literally a brand new track and they want to preserve it. We are very thankful to get this location and want to leave a great impression as a League so we can use it again if we need to. Talk to me if you still don't know what the needle looks like.
Cleanup:
We have been doing pretty good on cleanup, but there has been trash left in our area the coaches have had to pick up after a meet. We should always leave a place cleaner than we found it. If everyone does a simple double take on their way out for trash, it would be immaculate. As stated early, this is a new venue and we need to leave a great impression. Let's lead the charge for the whole league by taking time to clean up as we go and when we leave.
Infield:
There will be absolutely nobody allowed on the infield, no exceptions. The timers are the only ones that will be on it. If there is an entry change or any communication needed with them, find me and I will take care of it. Nobody should be over there at all please.
Warmup can be done behind the home stands. Check in will be on the outside of the track.
Parking:
Release for SP is at 3:20pm. The student parking lot is fine to use, but we will be fighting traffic after release. Parents coming later, it will be easier if you wait until 3:45 to avoid the buses and students if you'd like. Just remember my coffee order if you drop off and come back :p
Escondido Invite:
Friday night we have the Escondido Invite. Triple check entries if you know you can't make it. I was able to put in 3 athletes for distance(8,16,32) and field events, and 2 per lane races. I should have the heat sheets tomorrow to see who qualifies. Distance and field should plan on making it, but lane races are based on time to get in so we will see.
You need 3/16" needles, they will check. You should all have Thursday anyways so we should be good on that.
You can view the schedule ahead of time, it should stay the same. This meet goes into the night so please bring sweats so you can stay warm. Last race is at 10pm.
It is a ticketed entry for spectators, you can use this GoFan link. Parking will be the same entrance as when we did our league meet there.
There will be a concession stand open and restrooms on the SW side of the field.
