I can't believe this years season is
amost over, its been a great season and
I have seen a lot of success
with everyone on the team!
This is the last
official week of practice for most
athletes.
Tuesday night will be a seeding meeting
for the League Finals meet which is
Sunday, only athletes who have obtained
a qualifing mark and those who have been
invited can attend on Sunday. All others
will go on Saturday to the Open Final
Meet. This will conclude our Track and
Field season for this year.
We will be having a very important
meeting on Thursday during practice, so
please make sure everyone attends.
If you want to
keep running, look for our cross country
sign ups in July. More information will
follow at the team picnic.
Have a great week,
Alan Bingham

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS/LEAGUE
FINALS/ CONFERENCE FINALS
Athletes must have competed
in at least ½ of the seasons
meets to go to either League
Championship, or Open Final
Meets. This usually means 3
of the 6 regular meets.
LEAGUE FINALS:
An athlete is eligible to
compete in the League Finals if
they attain a mark equal to or
better than the qualifying
standards. These standards are
posted on our website
OPEN FINALS:
Only those athletes who did not
qualify to compete in the League
Finals are eligible to
participate in the Open Finials.
The awards are medals or
ribbons. Gremlin post-season
competition is confined to this
event.
I.E.C. (Individual Event
Championships)
Otherwise known as the
Conference Finals, this is the
final event of the year at the
conference level. The top four
(4) finishers in each event from
both leagues (East & West)

As always we will
need volunteers! Parent

volunteer contribution in a
meet is a great example to
your athlete of what a team
effort can accomplish.

League Finals
If you think you've obtained a qualifying
mark,(see link) Qualifying
Standards
you earned the right to participate in
League Finals on Sunday, May 20th. You will
be seeded into the event according to your
best time, jump, or throw. (see link for
your results)
Whole Team If you are listed in the top
10-12 athletes in a event,(see link) Eastern
League: Individual there is a good
chance you will be invited
to compete in that event, we must know your
desires after our home meet this weekend,
May 12th, Saturday.
Open finals meet will be Saturday May
19th, athletes who do not
have a qualifying mark attend this
meet. Please note some events are more
populated than others so... you may
still be invited
to the League Championship meet
depending on which event you have found
success. This is particularly true with
relay teams
~(example; 4x400 last event of the day)
often comprised of some members with
qualifying marks and some members
without qualifying marks. If
invited we must know if you want to go
to the Championship Meet (5-20-2007)or
the Open Meet (5-19-2007). You may not
participate in both meets.
Note, if you choose the open meet, that
will be your last meet. If you choose
the League Championship meet, there is a
possibility that you might end up
invited to the Individual Event
Championships in Moorpark, Saturday,
June 2nd.
Good Luck!
Our coaches will be happy to help you
with your decision and any questions you
may have about these events.
