Midwest meet series open to masters, starting Saturday
Will Summers has sent me info on a series of meets in Missouri and Illinois open to masters. Called the St. Louis Summer Series, the first event — which is throws only — is Saturday and has a deadline of 11 a.m. today. Sorry. But the others are well into June, so you have plenty of time to mull your entries. For a PDF that tells all about the series, check out this file. (And the price is nice: $5 per event. Gotta love it!)
Here’s info on this Saturday’s meet:

Additional meet information – We will also be running the 100/110 hurdles, 100 and maybe the 200 (just for fun) the times will be hand timed. We are trying to get a following for these meets, so for the short running events you may show up at the meet starting with hurdles @ 10:30ish.
Hey will there be any 400H events, and is the weather hot? I’m interested.
Timing System-for those of you looking for a FAT timing check out
the Pyro-Flash system on goblinsportsdirect.com. With two lap tops and a digital camera a school district can get a system for less that $2000.00. Both Denver Public Schools and Jeffco Schools use this system at their district facilities.
