Brief observations from State Meet


Good

seemed very organized from the outside

very easy for event coverage

Bad

location-vibe seemed a little off-more of a feeling of a state championship at Morgan when you get to see all classifications

All the teams on the field are away from the action.  You need to be able to showcase the races and athletes to everyone.

schedule is too tight, in particular for 3A/4A.  How can you come back in just over 12 hours and expect to race well.  Tuesday/Wednesday and then all finals on Saturday is a better solution.  There is no perfect solution here, especially with the geography/time challenges of the eastern shore and mountains.

Concessions -They were terrible.

Meet of champions-While we will never see a meet of champions, what if we just seed everyone based on time and score it out by classification.  2 birds one stone

Programs flying under the radar that deserve to be recognized over the past couple of seasons
