Meet Information
2026 Mustang Invitational Info
March 12th 2026 (Thursday)
We are so excited to Host you for the 2026 Mustang Invitational. Every year we strive to make it better for teams while still maintaining high quality competition with plenty of awards. Please read the info sheet well, as the format and entries are a little different than most meets. Pay special attention to the Javelin as we try different ideas to make this event run in a timely manner. Ask questions you might have early, so we can get an answer to you and handle any issues. Thank You
According to FHSAA rules, athletes may only participate in 4 events (running or field). You may enter only TWO (2) athletes per event in all running and field events, with the exception of the 100m and the 1600m, where each team is allowed to enter 5 per gender. Please be considerate when entering entry marks, as the heats will be seeded based on time. All athletes with no entry marks will be given no time, and will be seeded last. Athletes in the long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus and Javelin will receive 3 throws and jumps. Starting heights for the Pole Vault and High Jump are on the event sheet. Minimum marks for all others will be established and shared at the Coaches Meeting.
ALL TEAM TENTS WILL SETUP ON THE BASEBALL OUTFIELD, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please stay off the baseball infield or that coach will hunt me down. All warmups should take place in the Baseball outfield or on the outside of the track. Hurdles will be provided in that area. Please keep your team out of the infield
The running events will be on a rolling schedule. All running events will be finals and all heats are against time. There will be NO prelims. There will be a large number of athletes so please be sure to have your athletes ready to compete
Entries must be submitted on www.directathletics.com by Tuesday, March 10th. Once closed, entries will not open back up. This allows us to establish consolation heats for the 1600m and 3200m and get to coaches earlier.
Please contact Chris Sumner at 850-567-6175 or LFCSumner3@gmail.com with any concern or questions regarding entries.
The top 4 individuals and top 4 relay teams in each event will receive awards.
Team Trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams
Entry Fee - $100 per Gender per team ($100 for boys and $100 for girls). $200 for both.
