Paul Brogan Invitational 2010

2010 Paul Brogan Invitational Relay Meet

August 20, 2010 – South Portland High School

We are pleased to invite you and your team to the inaugural running of the Paul Brogan Invitational Relay Meet.  This meet will be a great early season check in to see the progress your athletes have made over the summer, as well as a fun way to end the first week of preseason.  


MEET INFORMATION

Course

The course is located at South Portland High School, on an abridged version of the home course that has been run for over 35 years.  The course starts and finishes in the football stadium and the entire run can be seen from the bleachers.  It is a moderately hilly course that is run mainly on grass, but does include brief periods of asphalt, and does finish on the track.

Format

We will be running 5 seeded races for each gender, alternating boys and girls races.  These 10 times will be combined to compute the team standings.  The starts for the races will be staggered, but there will be multiple races on the course at the same time.  We will be using the time schedule listed below.

These races will be followed by a Freshmen and Unseeded race for each gender.  Team scores will not be computed for these races, but individual times will be recorded.
