Coaches,

I hope your seasons are going well. This email is concerning the 3rd Annual Jack Griffin Mid-Atlantic Prep Track & Field Classic. The meet is June 1-2,2012 at Callas Stadium on the campus of North Hagerstown High School in Hagerstown, Md. Jack Griffin is a 3 time Olympic coach for the USA womens team. He brought the 1972 Womens Olympic Trials to Frederick, Md, coached the USA Cross Country team at the World Champinships in England, coached numerous USA team members,national record holders and numerous deaf athletes. He will be there to present awards.This is a high school meet for athletes from different states, public and private schools to compete against each other. We have had some great athletes compete from as many as 13 different states. In 2010, a male athlete won the 200 at the meet and then he became National Champion in the 200 at New Balance Nationals. We also had a female from NJ who, according to Track & Field News, was the #3 high jumper in the country. We also had 2 males qualify for USATF Junior Nationals in the Hammer Throw. In 2011, a National Record was achieved for boys age 14 in the 5000 meter run. The weekend of the meet is the final opportunity to qualify before prices rise. We hold all the events nationals holds. As entries come in, we will add the distance medley, 4x 1 Mile and either or both sprint medleys. There is a break in the afternoon where that can happen. This is a chance for college coaches to see athletes also. On Friday night June 1, we are holding a special 10,000 meter run on the track. This is open to all ages, high school , college, open and masters. Athletes can qualify for numerous meets , such as, the Olympic Trials, USATF Master Nationals, USATF Junior Nationals, etc. It is an opportunity for high school athletes to show what they can do on the track for colleges and for college athletes to compete 1 last time to possibly PR on this fast track. The meet is covered by www.dyestat.com .

We are also holding the 1st Annual Joe Robeson 5K which starts and finishes on the track and runs through the scenic streets of the North End of Hagerstown. This race is in honor of the longtime teacher, administrator, avid running enthusiast and 10 time finisher of the JFK 50 Mile. The 5K is June 2 at 8:30 am.

I have enclosed an information sheet so you can email it out or print it out for your athletes, a copy of the schedule, a copy of the meet records, and a Joe Robeson 5K entry form. I am also asking you to forward this to other coaches you know so that everyone has an opportunity. This is a chance to have real state champions as we can see who is best between 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, Pa, Md, De, WV, NJ,Va, AAA,AA,A, private or public schools.
