Cancellation Notice
Eagle Classic Track & Field Meet
June 27, 2010Please be advised that the Eagle Classic Track & Field meet scheduled for Sunday, June 27th, 2010 has been cancelled due to insufficient number of athlete participants.
The executive of Golden Ears Athletics would like to apologize to all those clubs, coaches, parents and especially the athletes that were planning to attend this year’s meet. It was felt however that the low number of registered athletes would not result in an acceptable level of competition for many of the events and would not be in the best interest of those athletes participating nor any of the other parties concerned including all parent volunteers and BC Athletics Officials.
Golden Ears Athletics acknowledges that the low participation rate is a direct result of rescheduling this year’s event from the May 9th Mother’s Day weekend which is when the meet has typically been held in the past, to June 27th. As indicated by many clubs upon review, this rescheduling took place too late in the season not giving sufficient time for clubs to readjust their meet schedules which are typically set much earlier in the year.
For this reason, Golden Ears Athletics would like to announce well in advance that it will be moving its Eagle Classic track meet back to the Mother’s Day weekend in 2011 and will be expanding the event back to a full two day meet to be held on Saturday, May 7th and Sunday May 8th, 2011. Golden Ears Athletics is confident and committed to make next year’s Eagle Classic track meet one of the best early season competitions in the province.GOLDEN EARS ATHLETICS
