AAU Region 12 Meet Information:

All -

Here's some of the more pertinent information for this weekend's AAU Regional meet. You can find the complete handout at https://coachoregistration.com/track/info/mi_aaunq12/2024/aaureg12qu2401/info.pdf.

Parking: There is a lot on the NE side of Renaissance High School (off Outer Drive) that will put you closest to the the throwing circles. If you park in the south lot by the main entrance, you'll have a long walk to the back. I will be picking up the bib numbers on Friday when I go over to watch a couple of our multi-eventers throw. There is a $5 gate fee for spectators. The athletes will need the bib to enter the track area.

I'll be setting up a canopy with our club name on it to serve as a gathering place (ideally on the small rise in the trees between shot and discus). I'll have the bibs numbers there. Bring camp chairs and umbrellas. You'll likely want to bring a cooler with water/cold drinks and food. There will be concessions inside the track at the south end but lines are often very long. In recent years we've had a food truck out back, Bottom-line, be prepared for a long day outside in the sun, heat and potentially rain. Saturday in particular can take a long time as there are more age groups throwing.

I've included a copy of the posted schedule below. Implement inspection is typically scheduled for 8:30am (between shot and discus). Throwing starts at 9:00 and then moves on a rolling schedule. They generally try to follow the posted age group order but will switch things up due to available groups. Please pay attention when your group is getting close so that you are ready for warm-up throws. As you can see they will have all three throwing events going at the same time. Once it starts, I'll be running around trying to support everyone as best I can. Final comment, they never run on time and at times it can be a bit disorganized so please be patient. Control what you can control and be ready to compete when your name is called.

The main goal tomorrow is top-5 finishes to qualify for the National Meet in August (and of course new PRs)!

If you run into any issues or have any questions, you can reach me at 734-649-7875.

Looking forward to seeing everyone compete this weekend!
