    Track and Field stuff

    When they put turf in our stadium, they messed up our track, High Jump, Pole Vault and Long jump facilities. Track needed some small patches in some areas and some huge patches in others where they had to tear it up for drainage. The inside of the track has a concrete curb all the way around...

    I thought Americans just swooped in and took the jobs? What BS

    Deportations

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/omaha-immigration-workplace-raid-aftermath-rcna212931 Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training. As of Friday...

    College Track & Field - Cross Country - Reduced Roster!?

    In theory, it should shift where kids go. The limits are above what the averages are. So, NC State will lose kids but another school should pick up numbers. (Not what will happen, but it's the assumption I believe they are working under.) Problem is schools that are already under the numbers...

    I agree. Last night for the first time it crossed my mind of when I might be done coaching. I am tired of being yelled at and watching kids being yelled at by officials. First, there are too many stupid you aren't allowed here and you can't do that and blah blah blah rules. There are more you...

    I really hate to do this but, Lakeview should no longer be allowed to host a District. Once again the announcer spent the entire meet berating everyone in the place. Not allowed to warm up anywhere. We won both the boys and girls and Streetsboro finished 2nd in both and both coaching staffs...

    Bibs at Districts

    Have to be able to identify people when an infraction takes place.

    Minimal Standard at Districts

    Absolutely not. The prelims go way too fast as it is. It hurts no one to have the non elite athletes out there competing and learning. I could give an example nearly every year of kids we put in events for the first time at the District. One girl was state runner up in the 1600 behind her...

    The implication is that the #1 lane is the preferred lane. That means that lane 8 is the least preferred. So #9 ranked runner gets a better lane than all but the #1 ranked? Why would it be any less of a fight between #1 and #9 than #1 and #2? We are talking the start of the race when everyone...

    Not a fan of the preferred lanes in the distance races. Makes zero sense.

    No, a bunch just all of a sudden were gone. I brought up the full roster to see if they somehow accidentally got removed from the outdoor season, but they weren't on the roster at all. (Until I tried to add them again) For our own meet, I was debating about entering a kid who had been injured/...

    Another ODD Milesplit Glitch. I've had kids that are on our roster not download and when I went to do a scratch and replace, they were not in the database. I figured the meet manager just did not select full roster when they downloaded. The one kid had been entered many times at other meets...

    The Great Trump Tariff War

    I said nothing of the sort. I posted research of how it is doing.

    You tell us then? People have researched it. Not just knee jerk.
