After talking with several of the coaches last year, we have all agreed to do this a second year. 8 school invitational (top 2 performers) for the HS. 8 school invitational (top performer in lane events & field events, top 2 in distance). This will create 2 heats/flights of HS and 1 heat/flight of MS all FAT timed.
