THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL

                         NEW BALANCE GAMES

 

November 1, 2005

 

Dear Coach,

 

In association with New Balance, we are pleased to invite your school to the eleventh annual New Balance Games, on January 21, 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.  The Armory is the finest track and field facility in New York State.  It is a six-lane 200 meters banked track with a Mondo surface.

 

The meet will be highlighted by an elite Men's and Women’s Mile Run.  We also are running a high school Boys and Girls Invitational Mile Run during our highlighted section of the meet. New Balance will also be presenting the Marty Glickman Award to outstanding high school programs in New York State.  For more information on the award, please visit our web site at www.armorytrack.com. 

 

We will be applying for a National Federation Sanction.  We must send a list of schools to the national office, so no entries will be accepted after the due date. Please read the information and entry sheet carefully.  If you have any questions, please call me at the Armory Track and Field Center, (212) 923-1803 ext. 14 or e-mail me (Lou@armorytrack.com).  Remember entries are due by Friday, December 30, 2005. All accepted entries will be listed on our website on Friday, January 13. 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 you seeing you at the Armory.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Louis J Vazquez

Meet Director
