Langley Pacific Meet Schedule Change

The final schedule has been posted for the Langley Pacific Meet this weekend. Please be sure to double check your athletes events prior to the weekend as some field events have been moved. Click here for details.

Athletes are also reminded that in general not all meet organizers send out notices about changes to meet schedules. So please be in the habit of checking the website of the organizing club for schedule updates prior to the meet. Also please remember that events are allowed to run 30 minutes earlier than scheduled, but many times run late. You will want to arrive well in advance of the posted schedule time (to permit for early start, marshaling or registration, and warm-up). You will have to keep tabs on how events are being run throughout the day.

Cheetah Uniform Update

The Cheetahs Executive has decided not to proceed with a follow-up order of uniform pieces this season. The production time frame quoted was longer than originally anticipated and delivery would not be in time for the final event of the season.  Further, since all athletes requesting a uniform have been provided with a new singlet (despite the ~40% increase in athletes this season), all who wish to represent the Cheetahs in competition are able to do so.

Additional uniform pieces will be ordered in advance of the 2017 season and will take into account the specific size shortages experienced this year.  There will be multiple uniform exchange/pick-up sessions scheduled next season, during which all athletes without the optimal sizes or new style of jacket and pants will be able to exchange. And as always, athletes who have outgrown their uniform will be able to exchange for larger sizes.
