Section V to Host State Meet in 2011

[soccerstud11]

Section V is going to host the state meet for outdoor track in 2011. Where does everyone think this meet will be held?

[boobiemiles]

Batavia.

[Flash18]

Rochester Institute of Technology

[Snowboarder32]

Rochester Institute of Technology


I was thinking that... who knows though i'm gunna cast my vote for... LEROY! ;)

[anth31]

Oakfield-Alabama haha just kidding

[anth31]

Does it have to be at a high school?

[soccerstud11]

I was thinking that... who knows though i'm gunna cast my vote for... LEROY! ;)

Not unless they redo our field event runways lol. Does anyone think that a school with an older track due for repairs will get those repairs done in hopes of having States be there? Cal-Mum and Marion both had new tracks last year and they were good tracks but small towns with nowhere to stay for all the other sections. Also by 2011 those tracks won't be brand new anymore.

[boobiemiles]

We will have out new track by then lol.

[boobiemiles]

Wheatland Chili's is really nice.

[soccerstud11]

Does it have to be at a high school?

No. Indoor is held at Cornell University. Outdoor last year was at UB. Outdoor this year is at Cicero-North Syracus High School. It is usually a mixture.

[soccerstud11]

What colleges in this area have nice tracks? I have only seen RITs.

[anth31]

We will have out new track by then lol.

haha yes we will. I don't even think the grounds are big enough to accomodate that many people though.

[boobiemiles]

I would bet that it's at RIT.

[Flash18]

I would still vote for RIT. Their track is amazing, both indoor and outdoor.

[soccerstud11]

haha yes we will. I don't even think the grounds are big enough to accomodate that many people though.

That's why I think it will be a Monroe County school or a college. It has to be a school that is big enough to accomodate everyone and you also have to think about where the kids coming from different sections will stay for the weekend.

I was reading through Hilton's invite info and it seems like they have a nice track.
8 lane track, 4 LJ/TJ pits, 2 SP areas, 1 dicus area, 2 HJ areas, 2 PV areas

Also, what about Waterloo? Didn't they build a new athletic complex?

[boobiemiles]

YES. Waterloo would be great.

[anth31]

YES. Waterloo would be great.

won't you be out of college by then?

[boobiemiles]

won't you be out of college by then?
No where near.

[anth31]

No where near.

not like gradutated but summer break?

[BDevil09]

Webster's is really nice, got voted top 25 high school complex by SI a few years back

[boobiemiles]

not like gradutated but summer break?


Yeah. It will be the summer before my senior year actually.

[bdmiler2010]

I'll be graduated which is actually will be nice b/c I don't think it will feel the same having it right around town.

Edit: Not at Geneva :)

yeah, i like the travelling-to-places-you've-never-been aspect of competition


i don't like home meets to much, i run on my track enough already lol

I don't mind home meets, but I don't really like them either because of our jumping pits.

[bath#1]

I loved home meets but bus rides to away meets were always fun. We have pretty nice facilities, and I always wished we could of hosted an invite.

[soccerstud11]

Hosting invites is fun but it is also a lot of work if you want the meet to run efficiently.

[maxwagner]

We just redid our track and they didn't add the 2 extra lanes wtf! :eek: ha

[pcssoccer2]

doesnt the track have to be more than a certain amount of lanes in order to host something that big? also i think you need the proper parking area for it...

[distancerulz]

The last state meet for section V was I think at Rush-Henrietta.
I don't know if section V opens it up for schools to express interest or if they just pick a place somehow. I know some coaches would like to host a huge meet and make some money on concessions! That could pay for all of the bus trips.

Yes, RH held States in 1992 I believe. Also, from the section V track website, it sounds like they are opening it up to anyone who wants it and they will vote from there.

[soccerstud11]

Yeah, you'd pretty much need to have an 8 lane track in order to host it. Also, like I said, you'd need to have the facilities to do it. You must have parking, you must have concessions or somewhere in town to go eat (not a problem for most schools), and you must have a nearby spot for the out of town athletes to stay. That's why I think it'll either be at RIT or a big Monroe County school.

[distancerulz]

I think it was more recent then that maybe 2003?

[soccerstud11]

I think it was more recent then that maybe 2003?

Maybe 2002. I know it ended in a 2. Let me look quick.

[soccerstud11]

Yes, 2002. http://webapps.monroe.edu/~mcq/svtrk/sv-2009/info/10th_Royal_Comet_Invite_Info.pdf Under location.

[boobiemiles]

So is it just every 11 years that it's as Section 5?



On a side note. I know that the state meet usually interferes with some proms. So it can help Section 5 athletes get to prom in time. Maybe that's another way you can look at it?

[distancerulz]

Yes, 2002. http://webapps.monroe.edu/~mcq/svtrk/sv-2009/info/10th_Royal_Comet_Invite_Info.pdf Under location.

Thanks, It cycles around every several years like with each section gets a turn or something if they have the facilities.

[soccerstud11]

Yeah, think RH will hold it again?

Every 7 years.

[distancerulz]

Thats up to them but if they have the people who are willing to do it and there are some people around that know how to run it then why not.
Pretty much make sure you have the facilities and parking taking care of and let the officials and coordinators run it.

[boobiemiles]

Every 7 years.
Why did I say 11? I thought it was 9.

[distancerulz]

Why did I say 11? I thought it was 9.

11 sections? but I think some sections can skip their turn if they want to.

[soccerstud11]

Why did I say 11? I thought it was 9.

Nvm. I was thinking it was held here this year. Haha, we are getting eachother all skrewed up. Yeah, it's every 9 years.

[boobiemiles]

Haha. I was thinking 9.

Then I saw that you said 7 and I was like... No.

Then I reread my post just to make sure I didn't do something stupid and I saw that I said 11 years lol. Weird.

[bath#1]

I dont think RH will hold states this year. I was not impressed by their facilities when I was there 2 years ago

[soccerstud11]

I thought they were good last year. The only thing was that their steeple set up is all weird.

[distancerulz]

Yeah the outside steeple in the first corner is strange.

[soccerstud11]

Yeah the outside steeple in the first corner is strange.

It causes you to make a 90 degree turn taking all your momentum away making it nearly impossible to totally clear the water.

[distancerulz]

It causes you to make a 90 degree turn taking all your momentum away making it nearly impossible to totally clear the water.

Yeah I could see that. You can't really come off fast because you have to turn or you will hit the fence. I think I have seen some actually take the jump at an angle instead of head on to make a better recovery.

[GirlsXC_Coach]

Here is a short list (there are probably a bunch I didn't mention that should be). Keep in mind there are some minimum criteria that state meet commitees look at including: Track Facilities (need multiple field event areas and perhaps extra for pent events), hotels/housing, other facilities (including bathrooms - large indoor areas for rain delays etc), Seating for spectators, Parking - other space for vendors, awards etc.


Brockport State
RH
Hilton
Marion (not sure about hotels ... anyone help me here?)
HFL
Victor - if the new track has two vaulting areas
Cal Mum??? don't know much about it, but I have heard good things
RIT
Roberts Wesleyan

others?

Marion and Cal-Mum both have new tracks and they are very nice. However, Cal-Mum is a very small school and there is no housing/hotels anywhere nearby. The athletes would have to travel to Rochester or Batavia to find somewhere to stay. Marion is in the same situation. I don't know where the nearest hotel to Marion is however.

I didn't even think about Roberts or Brockport St. The track at Roberts is very nice and they will also have no problem with facilities/parking.

[13.91 CincO]

Penn Yan Track was Great 2007 State q's?

I still think first shot would be at a HS and not a college. Right you would have to go to penfield or webster from Marion for hotels.

I would bet Victor would be in line for it. Isn't penfield getting a new track also?

So Victor or penfield for states 2011.

[distancerulz]

Penn Yan Track was Great 2007 State q's?

I think Parking would be a problem though.

[GirlsXC_Coach]

I would count Webster out because they only have one Pole Vault and one High Jump (states won't jump off of the Tennis courts). Everything else would work. Penn Yan only has one pole vault area too.

Does anyone know if the new Victor Track has 2 pole vaults or a place for the second high jump (other than tennis courts)?

Below is the state meet results (2002) for the steeplechase @ Rush-Henrietta, pretty impressive times. That is East High's Brady Ferguson with a 9:19, the Section V record before Bateman broke it a couple of years ago at St Lawrence University. The whole outside steeple, slowing down thing is a myth. There are plenty of tracks with an outside steeple that are fast. Its just like you guys sqawking about how slow U of R is, you get it in your head and you're already half beaten.

Thats the only track that I have seen the steeple on the outside.
I guess that you get used to something and you expect other tracks to be the same.
Do you know of any others that have it on the outside?

[bath#1]

We (Bath) should host states haha. We have a few Hotels and a nice track with good pits for jumping

[Bathd23]

UB had outside steeple in states

[Bathd23]

deff we have a big bleacher section and we can all stay in the infield.

[GirlsXC_Coach]

Marion only has 1 high jump as well.

Actually at state q's last year they had boys and girls high jump at the same time. Marion definiely has two high jump pits.

[Snowboarder32]

they do, and it worked fine, they did that at sectionals too

[boobiemiles]

As long as your not high jumping on the tennis courts.

[soccerstud11]

They did one on the tennis courts I'm pretty sure.

Nevermind, I looked at a satellite pic on mapquest and they have one of those huge high jump areas where it is all one but I do remember them having 2 sets of matts set up on the same one.

[boobiemiles]

They did one on the tennis courts I'm pretty sure.
I thought that the Pent High jump for sectionals was on the tennis courts.

[soccerstud11]

I thought that the Pent High jump for sectionals was on the tennis courts.

I believe it was for sectionals because McGreevy told me to make sure I told our pent guys to bring flats (after he jumped on the tennis courts for sectionals). At State Qs they did both on the high jump pad.

[distancerulz]

Yeah they had two on the jump area at the end of the track and one in the tennis court for pent at sectionals.

Does anyone know of any other track in section V that has the outside steeple?

[Flash18]

Dansville.

Wheatland Chili just got a brand new track with Steeple.


Probably not a very good candidate for the meet though.

[distancerulz]

Is it an outside steeple or an inside one?

[distancerulz]

I still think that either Victor or Penfield will petition for the state meet.
They are both getting brand new/refurbished tracks and their coaches are very involved in track and XC.

[soccerstud11]

Dansville.

Dansville has inside steeple unless they have changed it in the last 3 years.

[soccerstud11]

I agree. If it doesn't go to one of those 2 it will go to a college.

[Flash18]

Dansville has inside steeple unless they have changed it in the last 3 years.

THey have steeple outdoor because when I was in 8th grade, Counties was at Letchworth and Pentathalon and steeplechase were done at Dansville the day before.

[soccerstud11]

No, we are talking about if the actual water pit is located on the inside (inside lane 1) or outside (outside lane 8) on the track.

Henrietta's steeple, and apparently a few others, is located outside lane 8 just past the start finish line which gives you a weird turn just before you hit the barrier. Dansville's is located inside lane 1 on the back turn of the track which lets you attack the barrier from straight on.

im giving steeple a chance this year, im going to do it at dansville invite. maybe i can get the school record if im lucky

Got it. I didn't know some tracks had it on the outside.

You nreally think you can get the school record. thats like 9:50 for you guys cuz of synder isnt it

[BTownClown99]

Probably any place with atleast an 8+ lane track. I wish it was at Batavia, but that wont happen.

RIT would be best I think.

[BDevil09]

we don't even have enough parking for modified meets let alone a state meet haha

[anth31]

when do they decide where it's going to be?

[soccerstud11]

we don't even have enough parking for modified meets let alone a state meet haha

Oh don't even get me started on Batavia's parking. It has to be the worst spot in Section V to find a parking spot. When I went to the LeRoy football game there I had to park like a mile away.

haha you have to know someone who lives near the stadium to get a good parking spot

[soccerstud11]

Tell me about it.

[boobiemiles]

I parked across the street last time I had to go to Van Detta for a big event.

I parked across the street last time I had to go to Van Detta for a big event.

Did you get there like 3 hours before hand, and was it a big event?

[boobiemiles]

I got there in the middle of the Batavia Track Invite and I parked directly across from the mens bathroom.

[soccerstud11]

Got lucky I guess. lol Try going to a football game there.

[BNewton32]

The worst is when something is going on at ND at the same time. If there is is a thing at ND and at Van Detta..forget about it you myswell walk from home.

[boobiemiles]

ND always has the worst parking. I always just park in the little bus uturn across the street but sometimes you have to park like 6 streets down.

[TwiddleDum]

Going back a few pages. A steeple pit on the outside of the track is inconvenient because your splits don't mean anything when they're all out of sinc and then finishing on the back stretch is just weird.
