Great event!!!!!!!

Going to FAT last year helped move the event forward in terms of quality. One suggestion to enhance the event this year would be to use multiple starts (calfornia start). Trying to have 20-24 kids who are all sub 4:25 milers on a single starting line is is not athlete-friendly.

Qualifying times?

How many athletes in each race. The fast race was so crowded last year that it never seem to run clean. Will there be a smaller "A" race?

Can u tell me meet start time so i can put on our schedule?

In addition to the elite performances, the greatest aspect of this meet is the high energy atmosphere....the music, the announcer, and the fans being trackside. The excitement at the Franklin Central Showcase is largely missing from our sport at most regular meets and we should all be inspired to incorporate as much of it as possible. The downside I see to all this fun is the potential for injury to the athletes with the gauntlet of fans leaving only a few lanes for the runners at times. So competitors, how does the fan involvement on the track affect your performances... positively, negatively or not at all?

We will have all meet information posted next week. Still working on the registration web site. Not to worry the meet and sponsors are all set. The meet will be April 13th - at the Flash-land! Make sure your coaches are aware!

No warm mile like last year? If i remember correctly, there was an elite mile, a "warm" mile, or whatever it was called, and the freshman mile. Why not this year?
