Race Today
Yes there is a meet today. It is at UW Whitewater.
The meet starts at 4:30 and runs late. There are men's and Women's races that alternate in each event. There are a lot of schools entered so there will be multiple heats of everything.
The 4 X 8 is always the first event and the ladies will go first. There will be two heats, so figure 1/2 an hour. The Boy's will run next. Also 2 heats and we are in the second one so figure the gun will go off maybe at 5:00. Then hurdles. We have runners in the mile at maybe 6:00; the quarter at 7:00 ....
I'm just guessing but my point is that parents who want to make the drive out ( about an hour if the traffic isn't bad) don't neccessarily have to get there at 4 or 4:30 depending on which race you want to see.
The official heat sheets ( a list of who is running in what race) is here :

There is some very good competition at this meet and the track if I remember correctly is nice. This is nothing like the WFB practice meets we just finished.
Track meets do tend to drag out, and indoor meets more so than most. I think that the official bus is planning to get home after 12:00.

It does take a good hour to get out there.
This should be a great meet.
I will post pictures and results later. If you take pictures let me know and I can put them up as well. If you want to post video to youtube I can link to that as well.
