Hale Distance Night will be on Friday, April 29, 2022 - once again at the Nathan Hale H.S. mondo track!
Check back in March to this link for when entries are open! I will post it here.
Any team that signs up athlete(s) will be sent an invite from our AD to the meet and paid through there AFTER you have registered your athletes. So it's a regular team invitational, but only distance events and for the top athletes on your team and in the state. We expect a few Illinois athletes to appear as well!
Entry Standards (Must be met to enter)
Men
800 -2:02
1600 - 4:38
3200 - 10:00
Women
800 - 2:24
1600 - 5:30
3200 -12:00
Entries will be considered based off of an actual performance from the prior season or current season leading up to the event. Not all entries are guaranteed accepted and final heat sheet information will be released a few days prior to the event. Please reach out to Coach Mach if needed.
There is not a set schedule as of yet. The event will be at night (of course). The current plan will be to kick off the first primetime racing around 8:15 p.m. and depending on signups, we could possibly have some additional heats prior to nightfall.
Below was LAST YEAR'S schedule for reference, but that was without a women's 800 and our first year putting the event on with shorter notice.
8:20 P.M. : Men’s 3200 Section 1
8:33 P.M. : Men’s 800 Section 1
8:38 P.M. : Men’s 800 Section 2
8:45 P.M. : Women’s 3200
9:02 P.M. : Women’s 1600
9:10 P.M. : Men’s 1600
9:20 P.M. : Men’s 3200 Section 2
2021 Recap
Thank you to everyone who came and made it a great night! We had 71 out of 84 athletes run lifetime bests, with 79 running at least a season best! The energy was awesome and many of the top times in the state were thrown down across all the races.
