The Patriot Invitational

March 29, 2008

Coach,

                I am writing to invite you to attend what I hope will become an annual tradition at Thomas Johnson High School.  On March 29th, we will be hosting the 1st annual Patriot Invitational at Governor Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick, MD.   We will be limiting the meet to the first 15 teams to respond and the meet is sanctioned through MPSSAA. 

 

                We are planning to offer a different opportunity than many other meets in the state.  We will be replacing several of the tradition events with a few other popular ones.  Many of your teams may be pursuing entry into the Penn Relays in the DMR or SMR so they will be part of our schedule of events.  We will also be using FAT for all running events. 

 

Entries:

                Three entries will be permitted in each individual event along with one varsity entry in each relay.  Two JV relays

will be permitted in each JV relay race.
