TRACK
Patti Petesch distributed the attached Youth Club flyer which reminds
clubs about registration, USATF memberships, registration for Junior
Olympics, Washington State concussion law, background checks and meets
sanctions.
Patti reported that a track sub-committee had been formed to help
improve the summer developmental track meets. The purpose of forming
the committee was to come up with a recommended meet schedule which
would keep the meet within a managable timeframe yet still provide a
variety of events; create consistency meet to meet; improve award
distribution; and to help the athletes/coaches/parents prepare for
bigger competition (especially learning to juggle two conflicting events
- checking out for one event, checking in for another event, and then
returning to the original event).
The committee presented the following recommended meet schedule:
