Schedule, Hotel Information for Middle School State Meet

Schedule of Events

We have changed the schedule this year. Friday night advanced packet pick-up, coaches meeting, and added much-requested open track time. On Saturday, we have created a more college-like schedule by doing a field event session early and starting the running events (except the 3K) later in the morning. This should help things go smoother and eliminate the checking in and out and confusion by athletes trying to compete in both running and field events.

Headquarters Hotel - Fairfield Inn & Suites

We have partnered with the Fairfield to bring you an incredible deal. This hotel will be our official headquarters and we will host packet pick-up and coaches meeting here. All of our staff will be staying here and it will be filled with teams. It is within WALKING DISTANCE of the track. Total walk is only 2,000 feet (600 Meters). That means you can check in and then walk over to the track for our Friday night festivities at Calvary, walk back through the very safe neighborhood, and then walk to the track in the morning. Your bus never has to move!

I personally toured this hotel and it is very very nice and looks brand new.
