Dublin Distance Fiesta

Saturday, March 20, 2010

Dublin High School, Dublin, CA

**Distance racing under the lights with music!**

*What more could you ask for?!*

Hello Coaches,

On Saturday, March 20, 2010, the Dublin High School track and field team will be having its Dublin Distance Fiesta at Dublin High School in Dublin, CA. The meet will feature the distance races of 800, 1600 and 3200 meters as well as an invitational style Distance Medley Relay to cap off the evening. All runners of all skill levels are welcome.

Why you should bring your team – Last year’s meet was a huge success, with nearly 40 schools and over 700 athletes producing six marks that were the top 5 in the state and many other clutch performances across the events garnishing hundreds of personal records! A disc jockey will be provided to play music during the events and will be taking requests from both the athletes and the coaches and we will be running under the lights. This has been a big hit at previous meets over the years – what’s a Fiesta without some music! There is plenty of free parking available on campus as well as easy walking distance from street parking. There will be plenty of warm-up area – on the track infield and on the baseball fields area.
