Meet Information
Due to the Hampton Roads area schools being shut down on Friday as well as participating in activites, the Atlantic Coast Invitational set for this weekend to be held at the Boo Williams Sportsplex will now be a one day meet on Saturday. Many of the area school systems will likely be giving the option for athletes to provide their own transportation to the meets if they choose rather than providing school transportation on Saturday (similar decision made last weekend by Richmond area school systems for the St. Christopher's Invite when schools were closed on Friday). To adjust for the one day meet format, the start of the meet with the field events will start much earlier at 7 AM with the trials of the 55 meter hurdles and dash projected to start at 11:30 AM and then 4x800 with the rest of the running events in succession to begin at 1:00 PM. If any teams are not allowed to attend the meet, please contact meet director Vincent Pugh at vapugh@yahoo.com. Meet management is also accomodating area schools that were slated to compete at the Virginia Tech Invite who are now unable to travel out of the area to Virginia Tech, but can travel locally to Boo Williams. There will be a declaration table at the venue on meet day with event sheets for running events that checks must placed on athletes names by coaches or athletes declaring that they are present and will be competing in that event. Otherwise, no check by name or relay then they will be scratched from that event when re-seeding occurs.
