Meet Information
Beynon Sports Surfaces Catamount Classic
Track and Field Invitational
@ Western Carolina University
Saturday March 26, 2011
Meet Information
General Info The meet will be an invitational meet open to colleges and universities, along with approved un-attached athletes. The meet will provide an excellent opportunity for all athletes to achieve outstanding performances. The meet format will be one of having the Saturday portion of the meet in a 4 - 5 hour window. In all of the Saturday Track events we will only run the number of heats that fit into the time schedule (Purple Section). Any heats needed beyond this would be run in a Friday Evening (Gold Section) to allow us to maintain the set time schedule. Also, if we do add a Friday evening schedule, the Field Events would be split with some taking place on Friday and the remainder on Saturday. Our main intention is to get everything in on the Saturday schedule, but we dont want to turn teams and athletes away from an opportunity to compete.
