T...The PAL meet was cancelled due to expected rain. The early morning forecast had chance of precipitation at 100% at the same time as the first scheduled race. Unfortunately, by the afternoon forecast that had fallen to 30%, and as we witnessed there was no actual rain until after the meet would have concluded. <br /><br />I understand the argument that cancelling early in the day keeps the kids in class, saves districts money on transportation, etc. I especially get it for the CCS meet where some teams are coming from several hours away. But for the PAL in particular, none of us are more than like 20 minutes drive from the course. I think we could have waited until later in the day to make the call. <br /><br />Mostly I'm bummed because, man were we ready to run (and so were the other teams).

I understand that it didn't rain until later but such decisions have to be made earlier in the day. The reason such a meet would be canceled is because after or during rain, a large contingent of runners would leave a lot of footprints which will dry out that way. With the upcoming league and CCS meets, I am sure the meet was canceled to leave the course in good shape for those meets.<br /><br />In regards to the league finals, those meets cannot be canceled. Those are the qualifying meets for CCS.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-80689690781120106792016-10-27T23:47:17.695-07:002016-10-27T23:47:17.695-07:00Was the meet canceled Thursday for a "chance&...Was the meet canceled Thursday for a "chance" of rain?<br /><br />It didn't even rain until later. Will league meets be canceled for chance of rain? Or if it is raining? I thought this was XC and we run though anything.
