People often complain about the timing of our event. Various reasons have been articulated many times and the idiot officers have responded with a foolproof (yeah,
right!) way to schedule the event each year. The rules are slightly less hard to understand than the past methods of picking the foursomes, so let's have a go at writing them down here...
- We must avoid Graduation weekend, as there would be no Hotel rooms available.
- Memorial Day weekend is out, as many already have plans to be at "the shore" instead of the birthplace of the holiday, in Boalsburg!
- Mother's Day weekend is out, because we have many "momma's boys".
Other considerations enter into the picture, but take a lesser prominence.
High School District and State Meets often trip us up, as well as
College Meets in all Divisions.
Children's sports activities is now the No. 1 reason for missing our event . Some Mays have 5 weekends, which makes our choices better.
Rarely, the stars align and we have a weekend free of our 3 "avoid" weekends AND an off weekend for the PSU team, which makes the choice easy. This is the first year that all the stars aligned. That, and the special occasion of
Coach Groves' 60th anniversary of his 20th Birthday make this the ideal year to get off your butt and join us for some fun and frolic. Either golf with us, or join in all the other activities that make the whole event worthwhile for everyone. All monies generated go toward group activities,
Friends of PSU Track or
PSU Track Scholarships.
