Meet Information
Dear Coach,
The Richmond Track & Field Club is very pleased to invite you and your athletes to the 50th annual East Coast Invitational Indoor Track & Field Meet to be held at the Arthur Ashe Center on January 2 & 3, 2009. As in the past, athletes will be selected for the Metro Richmond, Metro Invitational, and Virginia Invitational divisions according to their reputation and past performance. Because of the large number of entries expected, it may not be possible to select all of the entries you submit. Under no circumstances should any school enter more than three (3) athletes in any one event. As entry fees for those not selected will not be refunded, you will want to enter only those athletes who have a reasonable chance of being selected. To guide you in this effort we have enclosed a set of minimum standards. Meeting these standards will not guarantee selection, but athletes unable to meet the standards WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. Please follow the entry instructions carefully, and return your entries on or before the entry deadline. FINAL SELECTIONS WILL BE POSTED ON MILESTAT.COM ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2008. PLEASE NOTE THE NEW REVISED TIME SCHEDULE.
Yours truly,
The Games Committee
