This weekend's meets

This weekend is the final meet for a lot of the conference kids.

 

Saturday's meet is called the Open Final Meet, all Gremlin & non qualified athletes will attend this meet.

 

Sunday's meet is called the League Championship Meet, qualified athletes can only attend this meet.

 

Athlete's who have obtained a qualifying mark in any event can not attend the open finial meet, they must compete in the League Championship meet on Sunday (even for religious reasons). 

 

Both meets are championship meet and the 6 top athletes in each event will be awarded medals, all other athletes will be awarded place ribbons.  

 

Top 20 List. The conference fills 1 heat of each event for Sunday's League Championship meet based on the league top 20 list. If an event does not have 1 heat worth of qualifiers the conference will "invite" the next in line to fill the open lanes until the event is full. We need to know today if your child want's to fill that open spot in League if they are invited. (This invitation is extended to the non-qualified athletes to attend the League Championship meet).

 

IECs Individual Event Championship Meet is held on May 30th at Santa Barbara City College, This meet is the Valley Youth Conference's Olympic championship meet, athletes who finish in the top 3 at their League Meets are advanced to this meet for the finial competition of the 2009 season. That will take 6 of the 9 lanes in an event, the remaining open lanes will be awarded to the next 3 athletes by marks from their league meets.
