Coach-

Paul Blazer High School extends an invitation to your boys and girls teams to join us for a great night of track and field at the 6th Ashland Optimists Challenge Relay Invitational at the Ashland Athletic Complex on the campus of Paul Blazer High School in Ashland, KY on Thursday, March 31, 2005.

Entry Fee for each team is $40.00, or both boys and girls teams can be registered for $75.00.

All events, including field events, will be conducted as relays. Best performances of participants from each school will be totaled to determine a team effort, which will then be awarded places. Scoring will be 10-8-6-4-2-1. Medals will be awarded to first place, and ribbons to second through sixth place finishers. Trophies will be awarded to first and second place teams.

Please fax, or e-mail, relay team times for each race, along with names and distance/height of two (2) athletes in each field event by April 25^th. We may allow any school to enter two relay teams, space permitting. Only one team would score.

Our eight-lane rubberized track surface requires ¼” or shorter spikes. NO TAPE is to be used anywhere on the track or runway surfaces. We have chalk and aluminum runway markers available. We ask that each team provide a volunteer (assistant coach/parent) to help work the events. We have two runways into a large common pit. With enough volunteers, we could conduct the triple jump and long jump simultaneously.

Coaches meeting will be at 5:15 p.m. and competition will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the field events. Running events will begin at 6:00 p.m. and then proceed on a rolling schedule.
