Junior High Track Meet - April 11th - Help Needed!!!

 Parents & Athletes, 

I forgot we have been asked to host a Junior High meet on April 11th at 3:30.  I'm headed out of town for spring break this Thursday the 30th and returning on the 11th at 12:00pm.  The day of the meet and I've never done this before in my life.  I have some basic information from some other coaches, but I need more than myself to make this happen.

There is a sign up genius with all the assignments I need filled.

Genius Sign-Up

I only have 2 volunteers so far.   I expect every athlete on the team to take a slot and be there the entire meet.  Given my schedule we will only have a few hours before the race unless someone would be willing to be CEO of the meet.  Please take time to get signed up for something and I'll do my best to coordinate everything by the time I return.

District Championship Meet - March 29-30

As of today this meet is scheduled for Wednesday March 29th and Thursday March 30th.  There are rumblings that more bad weather is slated for next week and they may run a single day meet on Tuesday March 28th instead.  There will be a final decision on Sunday night.

We are limited to 4 athletes per gender per event except for the 1600 which will allow 10.  

We are allowed one relay team per gender per event.

If you would like to compete at this meet I need you to sign up here by Sunday night.

Since I don't have official marks to identify the top 4, we can run some time trials if there are too many for one event.
