What's with those crazy t-shirts?
There are two opinions on the shirts that every NY athlete has to wear at the NY State Championships: You either love them or you hate them. We're not here to discuss the merits of the t-shirts but instead to offer some advice to spectators.
1. Know your Section colors (and your competitons)
You need to know what color t-shirt the teams you are following are running in. Domn't forget that each team and the 5 individuals will be in the same t-shirt so don't panic if it looks like oneteam has a ton of runners up front. They may just be the individuals from that Section mixed in.
2. Know your uniforms shorts (and your competitons)
The uniform short COLOR and STYLE need to be known to truly be able to come close to fllowing the team score. Still this becomes very difficult to watch. When you can get to know the athletes themselves so you can just look for shirt colors.
3. Look at the colors of the numbers on the front - Runners with RED numbers on the front are racing for a team and runners with BLACK numbers on the front are individuals and won't count for the team score.
