The meet will hopefully start at 8:30, so please be to the track absolutely no later than 8:00 (a bit early wouldn’t hurt). We will be meeting on the field with the athletes at that time to go over meet procedures and get the athletes ready to compete.
There will be a tent in the stands for Midgets to gather between events to get food/drinks and get out of the sun and weather. Please limit the tent to athletes only.
Just a reminder that tomorrow’s meet is a practice meet with only Tigres participating. There will be no other club to compete against. The order of events will be the same as listed on the Tigres website, however there will be no 3200 or 4 x 400 relay. For this meet, Midgets will only be participating in the Hurdles, 4 x 100 relay, 800, 200 and Shot Put.
We are really encouraging our Midgets to be responsible for themselves as far as warming up, knowing the calls, getting to staging, etc. Please don’t stress about making mistakes or not being completely ready to compete. That is the purpose of the meet – to practice for real meets.
Finally, all of us coaches want to thank the parent volunteers. Meet days can be long and stressful, so we really appreciate the work everyone does. With tomorrow being a practice meet, please expect delays, confusion and all kinds of mistakes. We really appreciate everyone being patient as all of us coaches, volunteers and athletes learn our roles on meet day.
Let’s have a great practice meet! We can’t wait to finally see our athletes compete!!!
