Welcome to the Colonial Forge Showcase!!!
This meet WILL be sanction for Virginia and Border States!!
This Meet will be sanctioned for Private and Public Schools from Maryland-----Washington D.C.----Virginia-----North Carolina
We would like to invite you and your team to the Colonial Forge Showcase meet, to be held this year Saturday, April 5th at our track in Stafford, VA. While full information is included in this packet, we wanted to direct your attention to a few things that we feel make our meet stand out from the rest.
College/Professional
Time Schedule: One of the biggest challenges as a high school coach at a meet, especially with large teams, can be getting your athlete's to the right place at the right time. Much like a college or professional meet, we set a time schedule once we have received all the entries and do our best to follow it as close as possible. This helps all the athletes to plan out their pre-race routine and hopefully helps alleviate some of the "when should I warm up?" questions for you as a coach. We have included a preliminary projected time schedule and will publish a finalized time schedule once all entries have been received.
Coach's Hospitality: There will be a coach's hospitality room open throughout the meet. All coaches must have a wrist band to enter.
ATMOSPHERE: Music. Top competition. Fast times. We try to encourage a "big time" atmosphere to bring out the best in each athlete and help them to prepare for Championship Season. We have tried hard to design an invitational with you and your athletes in mind.
Entry/Payment Options: We understand that every team has different needs when it comes to entries for weekend invitationals. As such, we have provided two ways to enter our meet: a team entry fee and an individual entry fee. If you are looking to bring an entire team, you can use the team entry fee and receive a certain number of entries per event for a discount. If you are only looking to bring a small number of athletes, you can use the individual entry fee to save money. The individual entry fee may also be used for teams that would like to enter additional athletes in an event over the amount of slots they were given.
