CCCYN Championship Results

Recap from Mary Ellen:

Congratulations to the Philadelphia CYO Cross Country team!

In all, we took 236 children to the national championships.  This is a record high number for our group.  The subnovice girls, subnovice boys and the novice boys came away with a national championship.  The novice girls and the minor girls were runner ups.  The meet drew over 2500 competitors from across the country so competition was tough.  Nolan Yeagle won the subnovice boys championship.  Emma Zwall won the 12 year old girls championship and Olivia Cellini won the 6 year old girls championship.  The top 25 in each age group received medals and the Philadelphia CYO came away with 41 medals in the 8 races that we entered (not counting the high school races.)

 

It was quite a day for the entire group.  Congrats to the runners, the coaches and their parents.  It was a wonderful experience that they all will remember for a very long time.

Thank you to all our athletes, coaches, parents, and volunteers for another tremendous season!

Archdiocesan Champs - 10/25

The order of events on Sunday will be:

2007 boys and girls

2008 boys and girls

2009 boys and girls

2010 boys and girls

novice girls

novice boys

minor girls

minor boys

cadet girls

cadet boys

This is a change from previous years!

First race goes off at 1 PM, with each race starting after a sufficient number competitors in the previous race have finished. (Generally 15 - 20 minutes apart) I would expect the sub-novice races to start approximately 10 minutes apart. 

Individual medals and team awards will be given out shortly after the cadet boys race is completed.

Parking will be an issue at Champs due to the increased size of participants, please plan to arrive early, and carpool wherever possible!

Commemorative 2015 CYO Cross Country Championship t-shirts will be for sale near the results & 50/50 sales. 

If you have ordered sweats or other items, please remember to pick them up near the end of the finish line chute. The earlier the better!

A reminder to all parents and coaches that the finish line area is completely off limits to spectators. Each week we have athletes who cross the finish line area with their bib number on creating phantom athletes - those blank spots in the pdf results.  If you need to access the restroom area, please walk behind the end of the finish line chute, cross the access road and come up the grass on the far side. 

Protests or questions should be lodged only by coaches.

Postseason forms & Meet 3 results.

I can't convert the .pdf file for Meet 3 results from Run the Day to excel, some kind of formatting quirk. Working on getting raw data.

FYI - Parent's and Coaches 3k run on the Minor course this Sunday at 12pm!

Archdiocesan Champs Updates

Performance List 

Time Schedule - Updated 5/19/15 - New Shot Put Schedule.

Directions to Farrell Stadium - West Chester University

Facility Map

T-Shirts and a complete meet program, including history of past champions, records and cross country champions will be for sale at the stadium. Medals are awarded to the top 6 finishers in each event and will be available after results are announced, not the completion of an event.  Any medals not collected before the completion of the meet will be forfeit. 

Relays - 4x200 will be run using a 2 turn stagger - i.e. in lanes for the 1st and 2nd leg, 3rd leg will break to the rail.  4x400 will be run using a 2 turn stagger, with the 2nd runner breaking to the rail immediately after receiving the baton. Because the entire race is not run in lanes athletes may not use the fly zone or line up outside of the exchange zone in the 4x200, 4x400, and 4x800.  Relays will be DQ'd if runners are lined up outside of the exchange zone right before the hand-off is attempted.

High Jump - Opening Heights:

NG - 3' 4"
NB - 3' 4"
MG - 4'0"
MB - 4'0"
CG - 4'4"
CB - 4'8"

2015 CYO Night at the Penn Relays Meet Program

Free! Download and print at home, there will not be copies on site.

The timing of when athletes can get on the field and when the coaches meeting begins 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 - click on the Penn Relays link later tonight and a CYO Night Results page should be there.

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.

Only the South Stands and Sections EA and EB will be open for seating this year.

CYO NIGHT AT THE PENN RELAYS - FINAL DAY TO REGISTER!

REGISTERED TEAMS - AS OF 5PM

If you are not checked off on this list, you are not registered to run at CYO Night at the Penn Relays!

Forms are due today!

2015 Meet Set Up

The set up for the 2015 Region Meets has been added to the links on the right hand page. Region/Division Commissioners should download and restore to check that there are no problems. Track events are set for 8 lanes for seeded races run entirely in lanes and must be changed if you are using a 6 lane track.

Please do not alter or change team names.  If a new team has been added to your region, please contact me to add a team to the database.

We are still using Meet Manager 3.0, but it should upscale if your timing service is using 4.0 or 5.0.

Region / Division Commissioners Meeting - Tuesday, February 24, 2015

At Archbishop Carroll HS - 7pm to 8:15pm

•  Each Region Commissioner or someone representing the Region Commissioner must attend this meeting.  
• Any Region not represented will not be allowed to participate in their area Championship Meet
• All CYO Track and Field  coaches are invite

2015 Track and Field Season Begins March 1st! Region/Division Commissioner Meeting - 2/9/15

Track Packet is now updated and available online.  Every coach should download and review.  Major changes have been highlighted below.

There is a meeting for Region/Division Commissioners next Monday night at Archbishop Carroll HS. All coaches should have been invited to attend by their region commissioner.  Any coach who would like to step into a leadership position in their Region /Area for CYO Track and Field is encouraged to attend.

MAJOR CHANGES TO CYO TRACK & FIELD in 2015:

1. Elimination of the Grade Requirement.  Like Cross Country, Track and Field was given permission by the Archdiocese to eliminate the requirement that Novices be in at least 4th grade.  Therefore, all age groups are now determined solely by age as of December 31, 2014 and 3rd graders who were born in 2005 are eligible to compete as Novices this year. Note: elimination of the grade requirement as it previously pertained to Novices only, individuals who have graduated 8th grade are NOT eligible to participate in grade school CYO athletics, regardless of their age.
2. Area Relay Advancers have been reduced from 6 per Area to 5.  
3. Area Medalist - We have returned to awarding medals to only the top 6 athletes/relay teams at Area Champs
4. The Archdiocesan Track &Field Fee was increased from $10 to $11 per athlete.
5. All Region and Areas are required to use Automatic Timing for their Championship Meets

Franklin Field is again undergoing construction this year following UPenn graduation, therefore we are still in search of a site for Archdiocesan Champs.  Once a location has been confirmed, I will post it here online.

I haven't updated the Hy-Tek meet set-up for region/area meets yet. I will post it online once I have done so.
