Who: Open to all registered Whisper runners.
What: Sherwood Youth Track Meet. Click here for meet info.
When (rolling schedule): See event order below. “Rolling schedule,” means the meet will start at a designated time, and events will proceed with no formal/posted event start time. Start times depend on the total number of heats, and ultimately, the number of registered runners. These meets last several hours, so plan accordingly by bringing food, snacks, water, chairs, blankets, an umbrella, etc. Aim to arrive at the Whisper canopy ~75 minutes from the start of your child’s first running event. Once they have arrived, they should listen for the event calls, and check-in when instructed. Coach Dave, along with a few assistant coaches, will be on hand to support and guide runners as needed. Parents should remain on the outside of the track (lane 8), and only athletes and coaches (who have been cleared by SafeSport) are allowed on the infield.
Rough timeline: Each event will take ~an hour to get through. Some longer (100m, 200m, 400m), than others (mile, 800m). 3k will take an hour. Hurdles 45-minutes. 800m may start around 10:15am.. Because entries are not posted on athletic.net, your guess is as good as mine. Ultimately, make a day of it.
Track Events: Running events will start at 8:30 AM and then will be a rolling schedule. Event order: 3k, 80m hurdles (11-12 age group), 100m Hurdles (13-14 age group, 15-16, 17-18 G), 110m Hurdles (15-16, 17-18 B), 800m, 100m, 400m, 1500m, 200m.
