Riverside Invitational

Riverside High School will  host a Track Meet on April 10^th, 2010 here at RHS. Right now we have 20 teams scheduled to compete with the potential to have at least 25. That being said we need to use common sense when it comes to entries. We are using Athletic.net and the Hy-Tek Meet Manager Program to handle or entries and meet results. Entries need to be filled out at www.athletic.net. Please have your entries online by 8:00am on Saturday, April 10^th, and you can make changes until that time. Please limit your entries to 5 per event. If you do not have 5 athletes to put in an event that’s ok. This is a “midseason” meet, so I don’t want to limit you too badly, but I don’t want to be running under the lights either.  Any last minute changes will need to be handled on a case by case basis. If you have something that needs to be addressed please contact me as soon as possible.

Coaches meeting will be at 10AM in the multi-purpose building. Field events will start at 11AM and Running Events will start at 1pm. We are doing this to try to get as much of the field events done as possible. Field events will be flighted and athletes will have 4 attempts with no finals.

There is a $25 entry fee for each team. Please make your check payable to RHS Track. You can bring it to the meet or send it to me at the high school at least one week prior to the meet.

All of our runways are rubberized. Spikes must be no greater than ¼”. Our shot and discus rings are recessed, brushed concrete. We will be using a video FAT system for all races run in lanes. We will also be using a three-turn stagger in the 4X400 meter relay.

We are looking forward to good weather and a great track meet. If you have questions please contact:

Tom Grimes or Dave Boor
