Skyline Distance Fiesta

Saturday, March 15, 2008

Skyline High School, Oakland, CA

 

**Distance racing under the lights with music!**

*What more could you ask for?!*

 

Hello Coaches,

 

On Saturday, March 15, 2008, the Skyline High School track & field team will be having its
1st Annual Skyline Distance Fiesta at Skyline High School in Oakland, CA.  The meet will
feature the distance races of 800, 1600 and 3200 meters as well as an invitational style Distance
Medley Relay to cap off the evening.  All runners of all skill levels are welcome.

 

Why you should bring your team - A disc jockey will be provided to play music during the
events and will be taking requests from both the athletes and the coaches and we will be
running under the lights.  This has been a huge success at our Skyline Distance
Scrimmage over the years – what’s a Fiesta without some music!  There is plenty of
 free parking available on campus as well as easy walking distance from street parking. 
There will be plenty of warm-up area – on  the infield of the track and on the baseball field.
