Fairless Falcon Invitational 2025
Dear Coach,
The Fairless Falcon Invitational will be held on Saturday, April 5. The coaches meeting will be held at 8:15am in the auxiliary gym, we will have food available for coaches, bus drivers, and officials. Field events and 4x800 will begin at 9:00am. Running event finals will begin at 11:00 with the 100h/110h. All field events will be finals.
We will be using Milesplit for entries. Each team has been sent an invitation via email to their head coach. The window for entries is currently open and will close at noon on Thursday, April 3. There will be scratches on a Google form document sent out after entries close. Please complete these prior to 8:30 am on April 5.
We will be following the same format as last year with an 8 school invitational (top 2 performers) for the HS and an 8 school invitational (top performer in lane events & field events, top 2 in distance) for MS. This will create 2 heats/flights of HS and 1 heat/flight of MS all FAT timed. The middle school invitational is registered as a qualifier for the middle school state meet.
We look forward to seeing all coaches and your athletes at our invitational. We're hoping for some great weather this year! Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Tickets will be sold at the gate $8 Adults and $5 Students. Cash Only.
T-Shirts will be on sale at the meet by the concession stand from 8:00am-11:30am.
