BATTLEGROUND RELAYS
March 23 - 24, 2012

We hope you will consider adding the 2012 BATTLEGROUND RELAYS, to your 2012 outdoor schedule.  This non-scored meet is an excellent early-season track and field competition.  Feel free to enter as many individuals and relays as you wish.  The meet features both relays as well as most individual events.  I am confident that this meet will allow your athletes to have a great early season experience!

Of course we hope that your team will be able to participate on both days of the competition.  But if you can not attend the Friday events, please consider competing in the Saturday events.


INVITATIONS: Open to collegiate athletes as well as post-collegiate athletes.

TRACK: Only 1/8” or 1/4” spikes should be worn on the track/runways.  Concrete throwing circles with an all-weather javelin runway.

AWARDS: Awards will be presented to 1st place winners in all individual and
relay events.  Only collegiate athletes will be eligible for awards.

SCORING:  No team scores will be kept.
