2008 Charles Bowles Spring Break Classic • March 21

Important Info:  NEW Meet format/Officials

We started this meet a few years ago with the idea that we would create a meet opportunity for about 100 Northwest Conference student-athletes as they head into their spring break.  With small numbers, the meet was manageable for a Friday afternoon with limited officials.  Due to the major increase in the number of entries in recent years, at the request of several schools we are doing away with the “open pit” format in the field events which now creates a need for several more officials to help run all of the events.  To honor the “no open pit” request we are asking that each attending school be ready to provide 1-2 people to help out in the field events if necessary.

Location

McCulloch Stadium, I-5 Exit #253, head west on Mission St.
