Youth and Intermediate Athletes,
Another great meet with huge improvements. As a team, we are coming together nicely! I love seeing all the athletes warming up together as team on their own. Also, make sure your looking at the current Meet Schedule posted on the Tigres webpage. I had a few athletes drive to Channel Islands High School thinking the meet was there..
The results have been uploaded to athletic.net where you can also see the top performance lists.
This weekend, we are running against the Moorpark Striders at Moorpark High School.
Important Sign-ups this week!
We will have two event sign-up sheets this week at practice. One will have the Heading,” Tigres Meet Sign-ups”, and the other “Southern California Youth Invitational”. Today and Wednesday at practice I will spend some time talking to the athletes about the Invitational meet and how to sign-up. Entries for the Southern California Youth Invitational are due by Monday (April 3rd) of next week.
The 8th Annual Southern California Youth Invitational
The 8th Annual Southern California Youth Invitational Track Meet will be held at its new venue at Ventura High School on Saturday and Sunday, April 8th & 9th . This is a dual conference meet with our conference and the Southern California Youth Track Conference. This is a great opportunity to experience one of the best track meets around with over 2000 athletes from all different levels!
- Events are spread out over the two days of the track meet.
- Event Limits: Youth may participate in up to 2 individual events (track or field), plus 1 relay, or 1 individual event plus 2 relays.
- Event Limits: Intermediates Women & Men: up to 3 individual events.
- STRICTLY ENFORCED (sanction for over–eventing, is DQ for all events participated in).
- Coaches will be assembling the relay teams
- The deadline to register for this meet is next Monday April 4th
It is very important that we get their event sign ups at the end of practice on Friday. We will have the clipboard at practice all this week, starting Today, so sign up. This meet is unlike our normal dual meets where athletes can be added on the spot or we can take sign ups up until the meet. If we don’t receive the athletes events prior to the end of practice next Monday (April 3th), they will not be able to compete in the meet. If you will be missing practice this week, please email the events to youth@venturatigres.org.
Please look closely at the events to know what days they are offered and to get an understanding of when they are run. Remember, event limits are different. THIS IS A MEET THAT IS PRE-SEEDED SO ATHLETES NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE, NOT ON MEET DAY!
The order of events can be below!
