Meet of Champions

Athletes competing tomorrow should report to Woodman at 9:45am, remember to bring waters, snacks and food as the meet will probably run about 6-7 hours.

Parents and spectators use 401 Avon Ave, South Plainfield, NJ 07080 for directions, the meet begins at 12pm and is free of charge. Parking will be minimal as the track is in a residential area (like woodman) so be prepared to do some walking.

Princeton Meet

Spectators WILL be allowed at this meet, but must follow Princeton Public Schools policy and wear masks while inside the facility. For directions input Princeton unified middle schools in your gps. Parking is in the middle school lot or the Princeton HS lot on houghton rd. Track is across the street from both locations

Also following Princeton Public Schools policy, athletes must be masked unless actively involved in competition. We understand this may be an issue for some after being unmasked at the sectional meets, but we must follow district policy in order to host the meet.

Also mentioned in our meeting was the team fundraiser. Again we would like all athletes to setup their own individual page and try to reach at least 10 people and parents if you can share the link and get the word out that would be greatly appreciated as these funds help us provide for and run this team.
