Garden State HS Invite- 2/14 Meet Update

Hello coaches and athletes,

Thank you for registering for the 2023 Garden State HS Invitational.  We're super excited about all the great teams and athletes coming from the tri-state area!

Here are your final instructions:
1- Meet start.  The facility opens at 1:30pm, and the meet starts at 2:30pm sharp. 
2- Bibs.  Upon arrival, pick up your personalized bibs at the awards table.  This will be across from the snack bar in the hallway.  For athletes/teams that missed the deadline, we will have blank bibs for them to write their last name on.
3- Payment.  This table is also where you can give the check (made out to "Garden State Track Club") if you haven't already mailed this out.
4- Apparel.  There will also be meet apparel (hoodies, shirts, etc) sold in that same area as well.
5- Warm ups. This will be allowed on the track until 2:15 and downstairs the entire meet.
6- Check-in.  In the field events, please check-in at the event.  For the running events, please check-in at the paddock area next to the shot put cages when your event is called. You must enter this area from the downstairs warm-up area. This is a big meet and we will run a tight ship.  Please be sure athletes are in the right places at the right times.
7- Awards.  Shortly after the conclusion of every event, top six athletes and top three relays (top 5 in 4x400) may pick up their medals at the medal table.  Also, the winning relay in each relay wins four meet batons.
8- Blocks.  We will provide and allow blocks for the first 3 heats of the 55m and the first 3 heats of the 200m.
9- Scratches.  Please report scratches during check-in process.
10- Meet pictures and videos.  This will be posted on NJ Milesplit within 48 hours of the event at no cost.
11- Program and Schedule. Please email us ASAP if there are any issues or oversights with the meet program, heat sheets, etc.  It's a big meet with lots of moving parts, but we'd like to get it all right, if possible.
Looking forward to a great meet!
Chuck

2023 Updated Meet Program



2023 Meet Schedule

The Garden State HS Invitational is back!

W-9 to use for payment

We're excited to offer the same meet experience to student-athletes as last year: music, oversized medals, personalized bibs, free event photos, live streaming, and most importantly: a shorter, efficient meet that starts early and ends early!

Here is last year's livestreaming link and last year's Google Folder with 2000+ free meet pictures.

Since we are hosting a big adult meet at night, the HS meet will be from 2:30pm-6:30pm; we will have a firm team cap. Entries will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. We will go by the first scheduled teams on Milesplit.

The meet is open to all scholastic teams that are members of the National Federation of Schools. Student-athletes must represent their high school - no clubs or unattached athletes are allowed. The meet will be sanctioned for NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, RI, MA, CT, NH, VA, and VT.



Individual events: $22 - Relays: $40
