Hello 12U families!
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! Here are some important updates for this week:
No Practice on Wednesday, April 10th: Due to a home meet at Buena, there will be no practice on Wednesday.
Event Sign-Up: Athletes need to sign up for this weekend’s events on Monday. For those attending specialty practice, sign-up can be on Tuesday, or you can text me your athletes events.
Meet Location: Our meet this weekend (April 13th) will be held at Camarillo High School. Arrival time remains the same as usual, at 7:45 AM.
As our season progresses rapidly, there are only two regular season meets left before we transition into the championship season. Here’s what’s ahead:
Junior Varsity Meet on April 27th (open to all athletes)
Varsity Meet on May 4th (athletes must qualify during regular season)
Super Varsity Meet on May 11th (qualification through the Varsity Meet)
For most athletes, their last meet will be on April 27th.
To qualify for the Varsity Meet on May 4th, athletes need to achieve specific rankings in various events. These rankings will be determined based on their performance after the April 20th meet. It’s important to note that qualifying for the Varsity is a significant achievement within the VCYTC League.
The top 9 athletes in the league will qualify for the Varsity category in the following events: 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and field events. For the 800 meters, 1600 meters, and 3200 meters, the top 12 athletes in the league will qualify.
We encourage athletes to aim for qualification, so please review the Top 20 lists for each category to identify the best opportunities for each athlete.
Narrowing down their focus on specific events for the next two meets can help them achieve this goal.
Here are links to the lists for 12U.

Additionally, top relay teams for the 4×100 and 4×400 will be selected.
Please be aware that the Top 20 lists will be updated based on the results from this weekend’s meet, which will be available on athletic.net. These lists will continue to change throughout the season.
If you have any questions, especially if you’re new to Tigres, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
