    I am coaching a high school runner, looking to get him in a indoor meet unattached preferably late January, possibly early February. We live in NYS and there not a lot of options for high school meets here, so that's why he wants a meet unattached.

    I am aware of an early Feb meet at SPIRE institute, but I'd like to get him in a race by the end of this month. I'm also aware of a meet at the Armory late Jan, but we're not sure if we want to risk going to NYC with this kind of COVID climate. Does anyone know of any options in NYS or the surrounding northeast that he could enter into? Do we have any other options?

    I've looked into this as well -- you can find some resources for meets actually on MileSplit, Athletic.net, and DirectAthletics. There are some posted on these sites. Be aware that many indoor facilities are requiring masks during competition and drastically limiting field and crowd sizes. And those facilities operated by schools are even more restrictive and probably won't allow unattached athletes (unless you're great at pulling strings and/or have connections).

    Your best bet for this month is probably NYC where there are some meets going on, but I personally don't think the risk is worth the reward. I wouldn't run indoor this year if I had the chance just due to the fact that I really don't want to risk anything regardless of my desire to race. Could you potentially have someone set up a time trial or a small outdoor meet with a timing company and get some other athletes in the same fitness range hop in?
