The Mason-Dixon Conference Indoor Championships were scheduled to take place tomorrow. If anyone was keeping up to date with the FSU track schedule. We were scheduled to leave today and have a full squad represent FSU at Christopher Newport in Newport News, Va. We arrived at campus only to find out that it was too cold outside for the bus to start and there would be a slight delay in our departure. I figured that this was a normal occurance in cold weather. The thing I didn't expect was the next news. The bus had a belt break in it after they finally got it started. It wasn't safe to drive anywhere. Not only that, but by the time we had been made aware of the situation it was almost 3:00. A 7 hour drive on top of a meet tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m. was bad news.
Later we found out in a meeting that there was no other transportation to take us to the meet other than a van (that we needed anyway) and a car that university police had available. Not everyone could go and we decided that of the 15 available seats between the two vehicles, that the women's team and the seniors on the men's team should go. That covered every seat. So just to let everyone know, if you happen to stumble across the results of the M-D Conference Championships and only half of FSU is available that is the reasoning. That puts the end of an indoor season that saw us lose our head coach, have our track covered by the weather and miss our confrence meet. Let's hope that outdoor goes a lot better!
