Not sure who's eligible - whether just student-athletes or also open. I've put in a call to Norm DeRosa. Will post here if I get a response.

I've been to this meet every year since its inception, and it has always been just 5th through 8th grade kids competing. Unless there has been a change this year that I don't know about, I imagine the format will stay the same.

It is a rather enjoyable meet to work, though. I love it when there is a girl in eighth grade running a faster 200m than me. Very reassuring.

Format is still the same, middle school meet. A fun time to be had for all. Only part that gets boring is when your timing, and the 100m rolls around. It's about 173 heats in total I think.

FYI- the meet has been postponed to tomorrow evening (same time and place).

Thanks for the news Jeremy. I guess I'll still be in C-land to meet Scott or whomever may show up.

I think I'll go ahead and show up, too. It doesn't surprise me the meet's canceled. Forecast doesn't look so good for a track meet - but the weather is perfect for running!

I forgot about this event. My son ran it last year and I am sure my daughter (7th grader at Washington) would have loved to run in this meet. I guess its too late to register now?
