Warren Stauffer Invitational - 10/4/03 - Hollydale Park - South Gate

Dear Coaches,

Another cross country season will soon be upon us, and we are hoping that you will make our meet a part of your 2003 schedule. As you may already know, our meet has turned into a very successful and well organized morning of racing. If you are unfamiliar with our event, know that we usually feature a mix of high caliber athletes, great music, lots of awards, and probably the best concession stand this side of the Rockies. Our goal has always been to create an event for every type of runner and to medal as many of them as possible. Feel free to contact me at home if you need more detailed information. We think you'll enjoy our meet.

Sincerely,

Jay Waldron
