Friday's Finals Results

Thank you to all our officials who stuck out the rain delay to get in the last two heats of Senior Boys.  We almost made it!  The last races started at 8:52.  Two teams qualified in heat 12, good thing they stuck around!

Contrast photos are online.  They have opened the Penn Relays files going back to 2010.

2014 CYO Night at the Penn Relays - Final Updates

Free!  Download and print, there will be no copies available on site.

Update - the timing of when athletes can get on the field and when the coaches meeting begins has been moved up, but is contingent on Penn clearing the track following their practice.  These are estimated times, please listen for the call from the announcer.

Penn Relays Security Procedures 

Result should be online - live - via Flash Results - you can also follow them on Twitter - @FlashResults 

Don't forget to check out this spreadsheet that has all CYO Night at the Penn Relays results since 2001.

CYO Night at the Penn Relays will run RAIN OR SHINE.  If we have thunderstorms in the area we will pause the races.  Penn has a very accurate lightening meter and they will inform us when we must leave the track and when we can return.  We are required to wait 20 minutes after the last lightening strike.

The South AND East stands will be open for seating this year.

Penn Relays Roster and Arch 4x200 change

Here is a copy of the Penn Relays roster form

There is a change coming to the track packet covering the 4x200m relays at Archdiocesan Champs.  Due to the nature of track at Franklin Field, where lanes 1 - 4 are less than 400 meters around, it was decided that at the Archdiocesan Championship meet the 4x200m relays will be run completely in lanes.  This is similar to how it has been run in years past when held at Franklin Field.

Reminder that team rosters are due to Region/Division commissioners on April 1st!

2014 CYO Track and Field Season

We are less than 1 month away from the start of track season!  There were two significant change to the program this year:
  1.  Relay alternates expansion.  Teams can now have up to 8 athletes listed per relay event.  Any of the 8 athletes listed can compete on that relay at the Region/Division, Area and Archdiocesan Championship meets. 
  2. 4x200s will be run using a 2 turn stagger (i.e. first 2 runners in lanes, last 2 runners breaking in) at all of the Region/Division, Area, and Archdiocesan Championship meets.  This is a change from the past where at Archdiocesan Champs (when held at Franklin Field) the 4x200s would be run in lanes entirely in lanes.  We feel this is a more exciting format and will hopefully put some more drama into the Archdiocesan races!
Here is the updated 2014 Track and Field Packet, which every coach should download and be familiar with.

The 2014 Hy-Tek meet set up has been updated and is available for download to the right.  Please do no make changes beyond # and preference of lanes.  You must use the teams as they are listed in program.  If a team in your region/division does not have a team name/number, please contact me for an updated set-up.
