These meets have two purposes: One is to provide all those interested in track a fun, safe place to compete and, the other is to allow for all competitors to post their fastest or farthest marks possible. All of the workers and volunteers are here to aid and promote track and field and to provide individuals with a much-needed opportunity to compete. If you have any questions or comments concerning these meets they should be directed to the meet directors. Thank you, good luck and have fun.

These meets are great. In addition to the terrific local runners we have, you'll occasionally see an Olympic caliber athlete show up to run. I know Sandra Glover has run one of these on more than one occasion, and a friend of mine showed up one night to run the 800 or the mile, and Michael Johnson was there. My friend quickly signed up for the 400 just to say he compteted against Johnson. I encourage anyone with time and interest to go out and at least watch one, even if you don't want to enter.

Everyone should run at Rice at some point. These are great meets. They are low key enough for the average person to enjoy and yet they are offically timed and you will see national and world class athletes from time to time.
Just think...800 meter PR Friday night(Rice)...5K PR Saturday morning(RTW) - total cost for both $8.00
(or inculde two or three events Friday and log a bunch of races in a week. The $7 fee is to access the track...you can run as many events as you want for the $7)
Thanks for doing this Jon.
We missed you today.
Ramsey :)
Will there be meets this year (2007), and if so, what date do they begin.
Thank you,
Mike Fussell
