MLK Day Practice

We're doing a trail run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.  We will meet at the Orson Smith Trailhead at 1 pm.

The preferred option is then to carpool a bit more than a mile up the road to the East Bench Trailhead.  It is a bit of a rough road, so higher profile vehicles may be necessary.

BYU Indoor Meet information

The BYU Indoor meet will be held on Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th.  Field events and the 2 mile run will be on Friday with the remainder of the meet on Saturday.

The meet is held in the Smith Fieldhouse on the BYU Campus. Parking is just north of the indoor practice facility. 

From the meet site: Registration - The impact of legal liabilities and litigation has reached into our event. All registration must be completed by the parents of each participant. Be sure to enter the name of your school in the team box. The waiver must be agreed-to and payment must be made at the time of registration. Registration will only be accepted online. There will be no registration at the meet! If you do not pre-register online before the meet, you will not be able to compete! We apologize for the inconvenience. Such are the results of the legal world that we now live in.

I'm still planning on registering and paying team fees for our athletes, but in order to do that, I will need parent emails, work and home phone and last 4 of athlete social.  The deadline is Friday morning at 8 am.  I am planning on completing registration Thursday evening. I am sending a copy of the waiver home with the athletes. 

Admission: BYU is charging $6 for admission for all spectators.
