The Misfit invite takes place on the 19-20th of February.

The Shockwaves are already attending the Black-Jack invite in Ft Wayne, Indiana on February 21st.

The Shockwaves will only attend this meet on the 19th and only compete in the 1600m races, as the 1600m races are the only running events offered on Friday February 19th.

This event is being advertised as High school and 7th/8th grade middle school only.

If your Shockwaves runner is in 7th grade or higher and is interested in competing in the 1600m race, please contact Coach Nick or Shannon ASAP!

I will post more details about the schedule of events for this meet and specifically about the schedule for the 1600m events no later than this Sunday evening Jan 24th.
