Principia Relays Meet Info

Attached is an invite for College/University coaches to our High School Invite.  We are trying to see if we can get a few schools who will not be competing indoors, or have runners that need a tune up race before conference indoors to come run a few exhibition relays.  We are not charging an entry fee for the College/University divisions.  We are just looking to get some schools on campus to race.  This would allow our kids in the Houston area to see some up close competition of athletes at the next level, as well collegiate coaches see some of the best talent in the Houston area up close.

Ram Tough Invite Info

The Cypress Ridge High School Track and Field program is soliciting your participation in the 1^stAnnual Ram Tough Invitational Relays for college/university and high school athletes.  The meet is scheduled to take place  Saturday, February18, 2012.  We feel that providing  more opportunities for high school track and field athletes to observe competition at the next level will motivate them to work harder to develop their talents in the sport.

Overview:   This is a great opportunity for coaches and athletes alike to learn from four master coaches.  The presenters have been invited to speak on all elements of distance running.  Each presentation will be for 1:05 with a question/answer period after.  If you are a distance runner or a coach of distance runners and interested in high-level learning, this special distance running summit will help you.  The new Joe Rosenfield Center  (JRC) on the campus of Grinnell College will again be the site for the Summit.

WHO IS INVITED?  WHAT CAN I LEARN?
This country has over 300 million people and a fine developmental system for distance runners (the HS and college model),  yet our history  of World Championship and Olympic medals over the past 30+ years has been unremarkable at best.  What are the reasons for this? Is it sociological, has the rest of the world simply past us by, or are the reasons systemic to our coaching and training methodologies? 
Our goal in starting the summit several years ago was to provide a forum for learning and discourse and to challenge the coach and runner alike to really think about how we train distance runners in this country. If you want to succeed, you will learn at this special clinic. Come prepared to learn!
