Are out of staters invited to this meet? It sounds interesting to ocmpete at night . . . just wonderin :cool:

There aren't a lot of meets under the lights in this sport. Thus, I think it would be fun for any athlete that wanted to come... In addition, many of the events offered are atypical of the outdoor season. I think a lot of students and coaches get caught up with elite meets and often lose focus of simply having fun...that is what this meet is for...fast times just happen as a result. I am unaware of any bordering states sanctions...therefore, I believe that it is open to anyone.

For everyone coming to the meet on Friday...thank you! Although the weather is going to be beautiful, please keep in mind that it is still spring and could get chilly as this is a night-time meet. Please bring plenty of warm clothing.........you know some of your team-mates may not be prepared!!

I think it is going to be a lot of fun. I would have to say that the hot event may be the co-ed 4x1600!...
