Hosted by Steve Strother, Blue Lightning Track Club

• Location: McDonough High School, 155 Postmaster Dr, McDonough, GA 30253

This meet is non-standard for Alpha Crush. It is very early in the season and will not have any coaching support. This meet was added to our calendar for our experienced, veteran athletes to participate in prior to our developmental season.

Running Events

With the exception of the first running event, we cannot tell you with certainty when a particular running event will start.  The "pace" of the meet depends on the number of athletes competing, the number of heats required, and the ability of the meet hosts to keep things running quickly.  This is referred to as a "rolling start"; the next event is started when the previous event is completed.

• Having said that, following the meet entry deadline, Coach Matthew will prepare and provide a link to a spreadsheet that lists estimated starting times for each event. These time estimates are based on experience of how long a particular event takes, the order in which the events occur, and the number of athletes entered in each event.

  • Note the "as of date/time" in the footer of the report. 

  • Estimates are more accurate after registration closes and Coach Matthew has had time to process the data.
