THE COLONIAL CLASSIC
Saturday, April 2, 2022 12:00 PM Plymouth-Whitemarsh HS
The PTFCA in conjunction with Plymouth-Whitemarsh HS proudly announces the 19th 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 March 30. 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.
