As promised and by popular
request, here is our outdoor track schedule. Although we do have one more
indoor meet to complete – next weekend’s IC4A/ECAC Championships – our outdoor
schedule will come upon us fast. And when it starts, the season goes QUICKLY.
OK. Here goes, the schedule with some descriptions:
Friday/Saturday, March 29-30, Fred Hardy
Invitational/Richmond: We went to
this meet last year and it was a wonderful experience. We will return this year
with a full squad, and we will leave on Thursday afternoon. Note that this is
Easter Weekend. We will be arriving back to Poughkeepsie late Saturday
night/very early a.m. on Easter Sunday.
Friday, March 29, Stanford
Invitational, Palo Alto, CA: Coach
Chuck will be taking a select few athletes out to this meet for the first time
this year. Because of a family conflict during Mt. SAC Relays weekend, we have
added this elite level meet to our schedule and we are excited to be attending
it.
Thursday/Friday/Saturday,
April 4-6, Colonial Relays/William and Mary: It has been a long time since we
went to this meet, and we are looking forward to returning. This meet has so
many different relays and it should be fun to take part. With two Virginia
trips to start the season, we are hopeful for some warmer weather. That’s the
plan, anyway.
Friday/Sat, April 12-13, Metropolitan
Championship, Ramapo: A partial squad of athletes (some distance runners on
Friday afternoon, and the majority of our sprint/jump team on Saturday) will be
going to this meet.
Saturday/Sunday, April
13-14, Bison Invitational, Bucknell: A partial squad will be going to this
meet again, as we have in previous years. This meet provides us with great
competition in a beautiful setting.
Friday, April 19, Larry
Ellis Invitation/Princeton: We may send a few distance runners to the Friday evening portion of
this meet.
Saturday, April 20, Stony Brook
Invitational: The remainder of our squad will head back to Long Island for
the first full-length invitational to be held at Stony Brook University. We
look forward to seeing family and friends there.
Thursday/Saturday, April
25-27, Penn Relay Carnival: Our
annual trip to the storied meet.
Sunday, April 28, Yale Springtime
Invitational: Our annual trip to the pre-championship tuneup meet.
Friday, May 3, Matthew
Vassar Open: One of our favorite nights of the year, as close to a “home”
meet as we get in track.
Saturday/Sunday, May 4-5, MAAC
Championships: At Rider, as usual. Stay tuned for a slightly different
order of events that includes more races on Saturday afternoon.
Postseason
Championships:
The following meets are
for qualifiers only, if we are fortunate to get qualifiers to any or all of
these championships.
Friday/Saturday, May 10-11: IC4A/ECAC Championships, Princeton
May 23-25: NCAA East Regional, North Carolina A&T
June 5-8: NCAA Championships, U of Oregon
June 19-23: USATF Junior/Senior Championships
