Now this week we have a very busy week for our TEAM. We have our first state qualifying meet this week. In the sport of track & field there are limited times when you can qualify for state. One is the region championships the other times are the state qualifying meets. This week we have our first state qualifying meet. For these state qualifying meets we are limited in the number of athletes we can have compete, so we as coaches will be Inviting those athletes to compete in these meets, thus why these meets are often called “Invites or Invitational’s”.
