Below you will find info from the annual MSCCA meeting.
Agenda:
1. Annual discussion of dues for the 2022 season. 2022 Fee form
Dues will remain the same for the 2022 season. AAA-$270.00 AA/A-$230.00
2. Discussion of location for the Voyles Classic and MSCCA Championships.
The Voyles Classic will again be at The Hermitage. The MSCCA Championships will be at Buckner Park in Dickson.
3. Discussion of date and time for each. Director, Eric Hickerson, is requesting a move of the Voyles Classic to September 10th primarily for safety (heat) and training concerns.
The MSCCA, with Director Eric Hickerson's recommendation, made the decision to move the Voyles Classic forward two weeks to September 10, 2022. The following rationales were used to make this decision. A. Safety due to heat was the #1 concern. The 2021 meet had temperatures that were well in the upper 80 to lower/mid 90 degree range with high humidity. Data from the past 10 years shows a consistent lower temperature 2 weeks later into the season. Moving the meet forward two weeks gives a better probability that there will be lower temperatures. We had numerous runners that experienced heat related issues at this year's meet. B. Two additional weeks also gives runners additional time to train in order to be ready for the meet if there are heat related issues.
4. Discussion of midweek meets.
Discussed midweek meets. Agreed that meet directors of midweek meets should have the leeway to move dates as necessary in relation to the Voyles Classic.
5. Additional items.
A. Will continue to reimburse teams that host a midweek meet(s). This reimbursement will take place at the end of the season. B. The 2022 MSCCA Banquet will take place on November 7, 2022 at Brentwood Academy. C. Discussed awards for the season and championship races D. Discussed having a better presentation for awards at the Voyles Classic and MSCCA Championships.
