THE COLONIAL CLASSIC
Wednesday,
May 2, 2012 4:00 PM Plymouth-Whitemarsh HS
The PTFCA in conjunction
with Plymouth-Whitemarsh HS proudly announces the 18th Colonial Classic Track
and Field meet. This year’s meet has
changed in that it will bring together a limited field for individual events
as well as the standard relays. Here is the chance to post those outstanding
marks in individual events after running just those relay carnivals and to get
ready for League and District championships.
The meet will be by limited entry, the top performances accepted. However,
we will make every effort to guarantee each school gets at least one quality
entrant in each running event up to 1600 meters. Entrance does NOT guarantee acceptance. Acceptances will be listed on the PTFCA
website on April 24. Medals will be
awarded to the top five places in all events.
There will be no team score.
Also, all coaches will be required to help officiate. This meet will be open to any high school
team athlete. The meet will be run by
PIAA, National Federation and PTFCA rules.
This year there will be an added
invitational Elite 800m for boys and
Elite 1600m for girls. Please let
Ron know if you have a candidate.
