St. Ignatius Invitational #1 2022

Chicago, IL

Meet Information

Wednesday, April 6, 2022

 

From:  Ed Ernst (ed.ernst@ignatius.org), 773-407-5220

Here is information about our meet on Wednesday, April 13.  The time schedule is tentative, of course.  We will start the meet as close to 4:30 as possible, based on when you get here. 

Please make meet entries for Illinois Prep Top Timing at il.milesplit.com.  Deadline is Monday, April 11 at 7:59 PM.

 

We will need your help with some of the field events.  Kids are fine for raking, but you need to supply an adult to help run a field event: Long jump (Schurz), Triple jump (Gary Comer, Taft), pole vault (Ignatius), and high jump (Fenwick).  We also need help with shot put and discus.

 

.  Other details:

  • 8-lane, 400-meter all-weather track.  Spikes allowed, but short spikes might be best. 
  • FS first, then varsity.  In some cases we might combine FS and varsity.
  • Waterfall and Super-alley starts for 4x800, 3200, 800, and 1600.
  • You will get full results for all participants.
  • Please complete entries at Milesplit by 8 PM on Monday, April 11.  Entries are unlimited.
  • We will allow scratches and substitutions on the day of the event.  But it is easier to scratch or even just substitute where runners have already been entered in races and assigned lanes, so keep that in mind as you prepare your entries.  When in doubt, enter the athlete!
  • We are asking that all track meet athletes stay off the soccer/football field. 
  • We will make camps in the grass along the main straightaway. 
  • Athletes can warm up on the edges of the track.
  • Spectators are welcome but they should bring their own lawn chairs.  There is space on the south end of the track for spectators.
