Letter to Coaches

Dear Coach,

In association with New Balance, we are pleased to invite your school to the sixth annual New Balance Games, on January 20, 2001.  The meet, which is open to all high school age athletes competing with their high school team, will be held at the Armory Track and Field Center.  The Armory is the finest track and field facility in New York State.  It is a six-lane 200 meters banked track with a Mondo surface.  The same surface was used in the Atlanta and Barcelona Olympics.

The meet will be highlighted by an elite Men's and Women's One Mile Run.  Last year we saw Regina Jacobs and Mark Carrol run some outstanding times.

MEET RECORDS:

Men's Mile Run- 3:54.98 - Mark Carroll

Women's Mile Run - 4:21.79 - Regina Jacobs

We also are running a high school Boys and Girls Invitational Mile Run in between the elite races. New Balance will also be presenting the Marty Glickman Award to outstanding high school programs in New York State.

The meet will be sanctioned by the National Federation, the PSAL and CHSAA.  Please read the information and entry sheet carefully.  If you have any questions, please call me at the Armory Track and Field Center, (212)923-1803 ext. 14or e-mail me ([email protected]).  Remember entries are due by Friday,  January 12, 2001.
