Spikes at Champs

For the sake of clarification, all athletes will be allowed to wear spikes (1/4") at tomorrow's meet. However, spikes are NOT to be worn in the stands.

Schedule of Events

Here is the schedule of events. We'll try and stick to it, as long as mother nature doesn't get in the way (again). It is possible that we could move ahead of schedule, so coaches, parents, and athletes should arrive well in advance of their first event to be safe. (and to warm up!) Everyone should take note of the field events schedule and clarification on how they are run. The track packet is also available here online. (over there ----->)

*Note Area C meet results error - CB 4x100 - Corpus Christi actually placed 2nd in 49.50, but they are not listed in the meet results.

We'll post the seeding for Archdiocesan Champs next week! Here's to hoping everyone enjoys a weekend without a track meet, I mean, if that's possible...

Penn Relays Video & Photos

I found this video of the Sr. Boy's Penn Relays Finals. It appears they taped almost every race, so hopefully all our finals will be posted at some point. Congrats to all finalists again, unfortunately the weather wasn't very nice, but many teams managed to post excellent times, and got the opportunity to run in front of 39,000+ people!

Sr Boys Finals.

Also, I see someone asked about the photos. Contrast Photography was on site. Here is a direct link to their CYO night at the Penn Relays page.

Results

Below is a link to results for last night's Penn Relays. I'm not exactly sure who posted it, but it seems accurate. I will let you know if there are any discrepancies. Congratulations to all our qualifiers!

update: I've been told this was posted by one of the Penn Relays officials who worked the scoring last night, so no issues are expected. I guess that makes these the official results...

Spikes at Penn Relays

The following is a reminder of the note was sent to all area commissioners to be disseminated to all the coaches.

Penn Relays has advised us that CYO teams are not permitted to use spikes at the Penn Relay Trials on Tuesday, nor at the Penn Relays on Friday.

We will be checking for spikes in the Paddock Area on both Tuesday and Friday. Any athlete who is found to be wearing spikes will be suspended for rest of the 2007 season and their coach will also be suspended for the rest of the season.

Running flats or shoes that take spikes without the spikes in them are permitted. Anything that resembles or functions as a spike can not be used.

It should be noted that shoes that accept spikes do not need to have blanks in them, they simply cannot have spikes in them.

Updated Penn Relays Program (again)

I've made another change to the program. We're just adding teams that were missing at this point, so unless you want to know what lane every team is in, you won't need to pull this down if you already printed out the program from last week. Every team that was already registered is in the same heat and lane as before.

Welcome!

Pretending that we know what the internet is, we've created this blog to keep all our coaches, athletes, and parents up to date on the happenings in the one of America's largest organized youth programs, Philadelphia CYO Track & Field.

We'll be updating you on the first big event in CYO track, the PENN RELAYS, which as of this writing, is just 13 days away! Comments will always be welcome in case you have questions or concerns, or when I inevitably mess up, but let's remember that anyone can read this! (including your runners!)
