SC Open/Masters Track & Field Championship on 6/28 at Winthrop University in Rock Hill SC

An excellent master’s meet very close to Charlotte will be held on June 28 at Winthrop University in Rock Hill.  This meet helps out CT&FC a great deal by allowing us to compete at a second meet near Charlotte without taking on all the work and cost of hosting it.  Supporting this meet with a large CT&FC participation this year will help keep this meet in Rock Hill in the future.  The Winthrop facility is excellent and they have a great USATF officiating crew!  The registration form must be postmarked by June 20.  The entry form ….
