Dr. Trenton Invitational

Friday, May 2nd @ Preston High School (Kingwood, WV)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Dear Middle School Track Coaches,

 

We would like to invite your middle school team to the “Dr. Trenton Invitational” on Friday, May 2nd, 2008.  The "Dr. Trenton  Invitational" is named after John W. Trenton a prominent doctor from Preston County.  Through the generosity of the Trenton Benevolent Trust, the Preston High track and field facility was refurbished in 2004.

 

The Dr. John W. Trenton Track & Field Complex is a “Seal-Flex” latex surface installed in the fall of 2004.  The track is eight lanes with all-weather high jump, long jump, and pole vault runways.  The discus and shot rings are concrete.  Bleacher seating is limited.  It is suggested that spectators bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.  Teams are asked to set up tents on the exterior of the track.  The auxiliary gymnasium will be available for warm-ups and stretching.    

 

We will be using Hy-Tek Meet Manager exclusively for our meets this year. There will be two ways to send us your entries:  www.athletic.net or Hy-Tek Team Manager Lite.  Personally, we feel www.athletic.net is the easiest method.  However, if you are accustomed to sending your entries via Team Manager Lite, that is perfectly fine as well.  Complete instructions for both methods are included at www.PrestonRun.com under “Meet Entry Information.”  The meet will feature Finish Lynx automated timing.
