PTF Youth Recap + Albina Invitational Meet Sign Up
Parents,
Congratulations to all of our athletes who competed this weekend at the PTF Youth Meet! Results can be found here. There were many PRs and incredible moments of team camaraderie and great sportsmanship seen out there today. Let’s keep it going this season!
Our next race sign-up is here. Please see below the sign-up for the Albina Invitational held on this upcoming Saturday, June 10th, at Union High School in Camas, WA. Please follow the link below to indicate interest in your athlete racing at this competition. BTC will cover race entry for races between 400m-3000m, 4x400m for up to 3 events 8u,9-10 & 11-12 or 4 events 13-14. You can also request one non-distance event for your athlete to try but a reminder that we will not be able to provide coaching and you will need to get your athlete to the start of their event! Please indicate your athlete’s interest in the sign-up. Requested events (especially relays) are subject to coaches discretion and availability.
Nike Outdoor Nationals Middle School Races
The Nike Outdoor Nationals meet is being held from June 15th-18th with Middle School races being held on Thursday, June 15th and Friday, June 16th. These races are by invitation only and require an entry standard. The potential races and entry standards for our athletes are:
Boys 400m: 58.04
Girls 400m: 1:05
Boys 800m: 2:16
Girls 800m: 2:40
Boys 1 Mile/1500: 5:10/4:50
Girls 1 Mile/1500: 5:40/5:20
Athletes must be 6th-8th grade with a Sept 1, 2003 birthdate deadline. The cost of this event is $55 and must be covered by parents. If your athlete has hit one of these standards and wants to compete, please indicate so in the Albina Invitational Sign-Up. The entry deadline closes at 12:00pm on Sunday, June 11th so athletes will have one more chance at the Albina Invitational to qualify. However, many events may close due to field size limitations. I’m speaking with the event organizers about this tomorrow but if your athlete has hit this time, please submit it sooner rather than later.
Practice This Week
We will have practice tomorrow! Please make sure to arrive early if you have questions. We will have spikes and singlets again for purchase for those interested.
