Snow is trying to mess up our day! Here is the latest email from the meet director on where we stand:

As of 8:00 both Carroll and Frederick Counties are under a snow emergency plan. I am remaining hopeful but we will see how things play out. I am waiting to hear more definite word from my AD and county AD and hopefully if we cannot start on time we could possibly delay the start time if the plans will be cancelled. I will send out a final e-e-mail by 10:00am with changes.

Not sure why anybody would be glad the meet is cancelled.

There is optimism that we will find a way to reschedule it. Right now we are looking into a possible midweek meet - splitting this meet into two meets (4 teams from fred and carroll in each).

Details may be avaliable Monday.

I only said that because I am not prepared to run a meet right now.

[CoachSpongeBob]

So your glad nobody else got a chance either?

Not ready? It's not a championship meet, just an opportunity to get better. Losing opportunities is never a good thing.

[Cooke2012]

I was going to ask about if it was rescheduled, but I saw it's already on the schedule. that's disappointing not having the opportunity to run in another meet before counties.

[CoachSpongeBob]

Sorry, I should have posted it here too. The meet has been rescheduled to February 4th starting at 2:30 pm. that was the only date available. It is better then no meet at all, at least a lot of kids will get an opportunity to compete, several that might not get to compete at regionals since there is only 2 entries per event at regionals.
