The university will host two home track and field meets this spring and volunteers are needed to help run the events. Prior experience is not required, and there are many positions available that don’t require a knowledge of the sport. We simply need people to perform some easy tasks so our student-athletes have a great experience on their home facility. The schedule is as follows:
March 15: Frank Haskins Invite. Frank Haskins has been a longtime friend of the program, and this meet will honor his contributions over the years. The meet will be about four hours in length, but each event only will take about one hour. Volunteer time would be about an hour to an hour and a half, unless you can help with more than one event.
April 18-19: Northwest Conference Championships. This is the championship meet of the season. Volunteer slots are approximately one and a half to two hours total, and you can sign up for as many or as few as you would like. The meet goes from about 2-7 p.m. Friday and from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
If you are available for either of these meets (or both), simply e-mail coach John Smith. Please provide a phone number and shirt size. Also, if you have an event preference, we can try to fit you in there. Thank you to all who support our athletic programs; meets like these cannot be done without you.
