NJ International Track Meet - June 11th

They blindsided us, but Randall's has a limited group of events and a much more restricted roster (so I'm told), so, yes, it may skim some cream, but we should still offer competition, events they don't have, etc.

Is it just me or does it seem as though the same person has written this whole tread. It seems as though Wayne B is asking and answering the questions??????

No, I've written only about half, and several were just bumps. I'll gladly admit that I'm doing what I can to keep this meet near the top of the boards and on athlete's minds. I'll also say that YOU are not ME! and while I use an unregistered name, those who know me, know what I'm doing. Condemn if you wish, but no, posts that were made to this thread by names other than mine (and your post) were actually made by other people.

Bah-Bah-Ump!

Thump!

Big whack - with a baseball bat!

Still another bump

That is good cash for a sub 4. Nashville Twilight is only putting up $100.

See you there!

Wayne hate to bring it up but............

Smacked you with the Empire Games in the A.M. at Ichan also ...any chance of people doing both meets?

It's a fair question - actual travel time between the two site is probably somewhere between 75 and 90 min (likely best route is Tri-Boro to Deegan? to GW Bridge to NJ Turnpike South to Garden State Parkway to Exit 109, then 520, to Phalanx, to 34 (s), to 537 (w).

So, if schedules permit, doubling is a possibility.

thanks Wayne,they start at 4:30 track,(throws/jumps earlier)

Will you be over by then?

enough with the bullshit already. let's all stop now. thank you.

Schedule can be found here:

Feature events are in the evening. It's really very dependent on what event/events you're looking at.

".....6:40 PM - Rich Kenah Men's 800-Meter Run...."

This is particularly funny because Kenah is involved with the meet at Randall's Island the same day/time that this meet is being run. How ironic.

Rich Kenah grew up in Central Jersey, which is where the meet takes place. He is a graduate of Immaculate Conception.

Wayne,

Love all the event names, is Norm Tate still in N.J. and will he be there?Quick Q,of the events named for athletes any meet record faster/longer than the honoree?

Wineturtle,

At least two of those honored are local athletes who've passed away, so yes, some are faster. I think the mile meet record is also faster than the fastest meet mark set by the honoree (though not faster than his PR). Most of the naming had been done by the committee a number of years ago (and normally with the blessing, either outright or implied, of those so honored - or occasionally their family). I must confess, I don't know Norm Tate's story or if he's around; I can tell you that I don't know him, but that means only that I don't know him. I'll check with Elliott Denman regarding his whereabouts.
