7^th Annual Memorial Day Relays

Information Release 2003

May 24, 25, 2003

Coaches and Athletes:

The Memorial Day Relays planning for the 2003 is complete. The 2003 meet will indeed continue to be of high quality and offer a competitive event for all teams. Listed below are highlights of the upcoming event for 2003.

Meet Location

The meet will be held this year at Panthersville Stadium in Decatur, Georgia. Holding the meet at Morehouse College was an exciting experience for the athletes and coaches, however we feel moving the event back to Panthersville Stadium where the meet has been held 4 out of the 5 years previously will serve as the best location to host and manage the event.

Meet Schedule

The meet will begin Saturday afternoon May 24, 2003 and end on Sunday May 25, 2003. Having more than 1000 athletes in last two year meet made it very difficult to run a timely meet because in some cases their was as many as 20 heats in some events. To reduce that occurrence, we have decided to make some relays as finals to keep the meet running on a timely schedule. A detailed schedule is attached and should be reviewed carefully by all coaches.

On-Line Entries

The Jaguar Track Club is again planning to have entries input through the Internet this year. An email address for your track club should be sent to Eddie Broadway, meet internet administrator, detailed on-line instructions will be sent to all clubs by email so that entries can be input over the internet. Information will be sent out within the next two weeks. Plans are to let the clubs begin input by Monday, April 21, 2003. The deadline for meet entries is May 17, 2003. Please send your email address to Eddie Broadway at Jaguar9@bellsouth.net.

A small fee for gate entry will be charged again this year to help defray the enormous cost of Stadium fees. We regret making such a move but the tremendous cost of hosting a meet with more than 1000 athletes has escalated cost over the last five years. The fees will be a $2.00 fee for adults per day and $1.00 for children 12 and under per day. All athletes and coaching will be admitted free with a maximum number of coaches of three per team. All other coaches must pay the small fee. The number of coach’s passes will be determined by the size of the team.
