Dear Coach,

 

You are invited to the Twelfth Annual Citi Bank Hispanic Games, on January 7 & 8, 2006.  The meet, which is open to all high school age athletes competing with their high school team, will be held at the Armory Track and Field Center in Manhattan.  The Armory is the finest track and field facility in New York State.  It is a state of the art six-lane 200 meter banked track with a Mondo surface.   Last year, more than 6000 athletes from 200 high schools competed in the Eleventh Annual Invitational.  The meet is now a two day event with freshmen, sophomore and class events (A person who has not won a medal during the current 2005-2006 season on any level, including relays) on the second day. Athletes will only be allowed to compete on one day only. 

 

There will be two highlighted events during the day, the boy's and girl's mile run and 400 meter dash.  The top six athletes in each of these events will receive glass revere bowls.  The top six athletes in each event will receive an event T-shirt in addition to their award.

 

The meet will be sanctioned by the National Federation, the PSAL and CHSAA.  Please read the information and entry sheets carefully.  If you have any questions, please call the Armory Track and Field Center at (212)-923-1803 ext 14 or e-mail Lou@armorytrack.com.  Remember that entries are due, by Thursday, December 22, 2005.  Late entries will be rejected. Just a reminder, that once an entry is accepted, the entry fee should follow.  The fee is an entry fee and not a participation fee.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the Armory.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Louis Vazquez

Meet Director

THE “LEADERS OF TOMORROW” AWARD

 

One of the many goals of The Citi Bank Hispanic Games is to reach out to the Hispanic community and provide a positive experience for our youth.  Many leaders in the Hispanic community come to the event, providing an opportunity for students to meet positive role models.

 

This year, in addition to recognizing today’s leaders, we would like to recognize the leaders of the future.  We would like to recognize student athletes who are leaders in the Hispanic community.  Please use the form below to tell us about any athlete(s) on your team who are leaders in their community.  We will select four athletes and present them with a special award during the event.

 

Thanks for your cooperation.
