Meet Information
THE JOHN STRICKLAND SPEED MEETThe meet was designed by the late Coach John Strickland. He was a dedicated coach for more than 15 years and enjoyed hosting this meet. In his honor, we have decided to name the meet after him and maintain the "Speed Meet" format.Region is right around the corner; coaches and athletes want to get the best times & measurements to prepare and rank. This is a fun meet and it allows the athlete to leave it all on the track without having to worry about being tired or worn out from competing in multiple events.*Please Note
The meet entries are limited to top 3 individual running event and top 2 for field events. Coaches please try to have 1 relay per athlete, because the meet is during the week and will be fast paced.
