Meet Information

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Night of Sweet 1600's!

Come Ring the PR Cow Bell!

On Saturday, November 8th, now that you're in great shape, we'd like to invite you to come set a new 1600 Personal Best off your cross-country conditioning as you either tune up for one last post-season cross-country race later in the month or start thinking of track season.

This meet will consist of multiple heats of 1600m races at the Parkersburg High School Stadium Field on Saturday, November 8th, beginning at 5pm. The number of heats will be based on the number of entries. The event is open to unattached athletes from those in middle school, high school, college and recreational athletes. Each race will be seeded based on entry times. New this year we also will have elementary school races for $5 per participant, sign up day only. These races will be a 400 Meter Dash for 3rd Grade and Below, and an 800 Meter Dash for 4th - 5th graders. A great opportunity for the younger kids to join in on the fun!
