Last year's meet attracted talent from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and even Michican to compete against NC's best.
On December 21st, JDL Fast Track will host the 2nd Annual NCRunners Elite Invitational. At the heart of the meet are the Invitational events: 60 Dash, 60 Hurdles, 400 Dash, and 1 Mile Run. Athletes can only enter these events by invitation, through JDL manager Craig Longhurst or through NCRunners webmaster Jeff George. We have lists prepared for both in-state and out-of-state talent, and we're getting ready to begin sending out invitations this week. Benefits for invited athletes include:
-
Free entry into those events (athletes can pay to enter additional events, if desired)
-
NSAF Select Meet: athletes that perform well may be selected to participate in international events such as Caribbean Scholastic
-
Possible travel stipends, funded by the National Scholastic Athletics Foundation (contact Craig Longhurst for details)
-
Top-level competition for an early-season test of fitness
A few spots in the Invitational events will be reserved for athletes that do well in the first indoor invitational of the season, December 14th at the JDL. All other invitations will be extended based on performances from the 2013 indoor, outdoor, and cross country seasons. Invitations will be sent by email to the athletes as well as their coaches (whenever possible), and confirmations will also be handled by email.
