Meet Information

This year at Polk County High we are supporting the Nation in its hour of need. Many people are no longer employed, and they are in financial straits. We have decided to hold the Reindeer Games to raise both awareness and help the needy. These events will be run along with the regular events at our Wednesday December 16 Polar Bear Meet. We will add a couple of relays that are different from our regular events, and we are considering dropping the 3200 meter run. Please let me know if your team is interested.

Qualifying times, heights, and distances will count for state qualifying; however, some added events are not ones that we normally contest at indoor meets. Possible events are the 4 x 200, the field event 4 x 100, and the shot put relay. We may invent others! These relays would be run with large candy canes rather than relay batons.

The purpose of the Reindeer Games is to help provide food for the needy over the holiday season. An
