bad weather and Covid, we did not have the meet on 3 occasions.

who have recently joined us.

many meets are done through this website. The fee for the Invitational is $100.00 per team / gender. For teams with small rosters, the fee is $20.00

per athlete. Example: 4 athletes in two

events each will cost $80.00. We will

again offer the triple jump for those programs that would like to give some

athletes a chance to try something new. The OHSAA Board of control has decided NOT to offer this event in the

tourney, but those kids that have done it in the past have enjoyed it...it's

about the kids.

We will

offer wheelchair events. If you have "seated" athletesplease contact me at the number provided. Cost for wheelchair athletesis $10.00 per event. They will be able to contest the 100 dash,
