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 ….
