These meets are open to all ages and abilities, and SOAR always has a big group to attend. Events this month are: 3000m, mile, 60m, 400m, 4x200m.
All SOAR athletes are welcome to compete at the beautiful Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island. This is an open meet, and we always have a fun time traveling together.
The fastest runners in the country will all be here to compete against each other.
All qualifying athletes will be competing at the Regional Championships, in pursuit of a qualifying finish to go to Nationals in December.
February’s events will be run in this order, with each event’s heats run slow to fast (heat and time estimates are from last year’s meet and will be updated the night before this year’s meet):
3000m (3 heats, 9:00am–10:00am estimated)
800m (9 heats, 10:00am-10:55am estimated)
200m (18 heats, 10:55am-11:50am estimated)
1 mile (8 heats, 11:50am–1:10pm estimated)
4 x 400m relay (sign up on a relay card at the meet) — 10 minutes per heat, unknown number of heats.
