Dear Track and Field Coaches,

 

Niles West High School in conjunction with the Niles West/Oakton Runners Club will be hosting two Indoor All-Comers Track and Field meets on Friday evenings, January 11th and 18th, 2008.  The meets will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. (pole vault will begin at 5:00 p.m.) with the field events.

 

High school students may participate as unattached contestants in these meets if their school has not participated in its first track and field meet (in accordance with the IHSA rules) of the high school season.  High school students may not compete in their school uniform in these meets.  We feel these meets can act as a springboard for the upcoming track and field season.   Please talk to your athletes about these meets and encourage them to come out and compete.  We would also like you to make copies of the enclosed “flyer” and post it around your school or send it to your local grade schools (grade school boys and girls are also eligible to compete).

 

Please inform your track and field athletes and your community about our upcoming meets.  Track and Field contestants of all ages are eligible to compete.  Please pass the word to your friends and colleagues.  The more, the better!  The cost of the meet will be $5.00 per event per athlete and $10.00 per relay (must have four athletes per relay).  There will be group discounts (12 athletes or more) available, if you call one week in advance of the meet you wish to compete in.   Athletes will be classified according to their age group.  There will be awards.

 

We have a beautiful indoor facility.  Our track is six lanes and 160m per lap.  It is a state-of-the-art facility built in 1992.  No spikes are allowed on our indoor track.

 

The running/field events will include the following (refer to the  “flyer”  for the order of events):

                50m Dash                       4x1 lap relay (males/females)                                     High Jump

                200m Dash                       4x2 lap relay (males/females)                                     Long Jump

                400m Dash                       50m High Hurdles (males 39”)                                            Triple Jump

                800m Dash                       50m High Hurdles (females 33”)                                         Pole Vault

                1600m Run                         50m Low Hurdles (male/female 30”)                 Shot Put

               

This will mark our 9th year in hosting “The All-Comers Track and Field” Meets.”  We’ve had atremendous response the last eight years.  Last year, we had over 1,000 athletes of all ages (5 to 68 years of age) compete in two  meets.  Everyone had a great time.  We are depending on you, the track and field coach to spread the news about these meets to your athletes.  Through word of mouth, we are hoping to generate some interest and competition for the sport of track and field.  Thank you for your support.

 

Please aid our endeavor in making track and field available to any grade school kid, high school student, and adult in the Chicagoland area, and in our proud state of Illinois.

 

If you have further questions, please call Chris Vivone at 847-626-2810.  You can also find information on the web at:  www.nileswestoaktonrunnersclub.com.

 

Best Wishes,
