This week in Rebel Track & Field finds us competing at the UM Fieldhouse in the newly renamed Rebel Relays. The Relays meet followed Coach Moorhead over to his new home, that of coaching the CP Distance Teams for the 2008 season. Five teams will join CP in the competition, they are; Armstrong, Apple Valley, Chaska Totino Grace and Wayzata. Wayzata boys' and girls' are the defending champions from the 2007 event. The meet will begin at 12:15 with the running of the JV 1600 followed by heats of the 200 meters. The Varsity portion of the meet will begin at 1:00 with the Distance Medley and all Field Events. Not your typical track meet, all events are scored as relays. In the field events, Shot Put as an example, four throwers for each team will compete in shot put with their best throws added up for their respective team score. Over the past 14 years several Minnesota All-Time Indoor Bests have been set at the Rebel Relays.Rebel Field Event Showcase Meet
Opening the week (Monday, March 31st), is the Field Event meet. The event will be contested at the CP Fieldhouse . The event was created to give the athletes an opportunity to test themselves in field events, with the idea that many just might find they have the athletic ability to be successful in jumping or throwing as well as on the track. The meet gets underway at 3:45.
