Meet Information
The 2nd Annual Teddy's Last Chance Invitational at Roosevelt's brand new facility and 9-lane track. Daniel Joiner and Mark Roberts will be co-meet directors. The meet will follow a unique order of events, and you can now access the time schedule, general information sheet and tentative entry marks by classification. 60 teams and over 1100 athletes joined us last spring, and we hope to see the meet grow this year! We are still accepting teams ($375 entry fee) and will have a price of $15 per event for smaller teams and individual entries. Please open up the information sheet below and respond by email to Daniel and Mark if you would like to attend so we can make sure you're on our list to receive updates.
Entry Process: Entries will open on Sunday, May 4th at 4 pm, and will only accept verified times and marks for the 2025 season. You will be able to see the entries for the meet on the MileSplit page, and we will close the first round of entries Tuesday evening at 8 pm. We will check to see if there are any events we're concerned about, and then the meet will be re-opened by 8 am Wednesday morning with additional guidance and the ability for coaches to update seed times and marks, or add athletes due to any unique situations. (You will still need to email (mark.roberts@weldre5j.org) with the details of your "unique" entries so they can be approved.)
We will turn off coach override on Thursday at 6 pm, and will leave the meet open for scratches and entry adjustments until 8 am on Saturday, May 10th. We will seed the meet in the morning and send out the program as soon as we're done (by 9 am). Coaches, athletes and parents should have a very good idea of where they stand since everyone will be able to view the current entries in real time (go to the Calendar page of MileSplit, find Teddy's Last Chance, and then pick the fourth choice, "entries", in the light gray menu bar).
The track events will likely have room for additional entries, and we're willing to consider requests for more than 4 entries if you have additional athletes who meet the standards. We will not accept athletes in the 3200 meter run who are more than 30 seconds from the final qualifying position in their respective classification.
We have included the entry marks from last year to give you an idea of each classifications likely marks, and these will be updated during the 2025 season before we open for entries.
