BTC Weekly - 6/11/2023

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a good time at the BTC Spring Classic. We were able to run ahead of schedule and avoided a storm, so I count that as a good day! Congrats to all the athletes who competed. Some of you had PRs, some had adversity, but we learn and improve from all of it!

Note: I'm hosting a conference call tonight for anyone who has questions about the meet in Missoula and advancing to the Regional meet in Pocatello. I'll also use this time to discuss registration for the Big Sky State Games in Billings.

Missoula Registration (USATF MT Championships) - June 16-17

I've reached out to the meet director to try and get another day for registrations done. That said, don't hesitate! If you want to compete in Missoula, please register ASAP. Also, I have sent emails out to those who have membership issues (renewals, age verification). If you haven't submitted the age verification yet, you need to get that started now. Instructions are at the bottom.

Triathlon, Pentathlon, Helptathlon, Decathlon, Steeplechase, and Hammer: if you wanted to register for any of these events, email me: chad@bozemantrackclub.org.

MSU Track Camp - July 13 (6th grade) and July 14-16 (7-12 grade)

MSU has a track camp this week that may still have spots available. It’s a great chance to meet the coaches and practice at a fantastic facility! Two training groups: up to 6th grade and 7th to 12th grade.

Pocatello (USATF Regional Championships) - July 6-8

You must register for the Missoula meet if you plan to compete in Pocatello. You will only be able to compete in the events that you register for at the Missoula meet. If you are applying for a bypass (not guaranteed), you STILL NEED TO REGISTER for Missoula.

Big Sky State Games - July 15-16

Unfortunately there isn't a team registration for the Big Sky State Games. That means you need to register through their website. Additionally, I have a wedding to attend and cannot be present. I'll work with the other coaches to see who might be able to attend.

  • Age Groups are based on your age for Day of Event (not like the USATF meets)

  • Ages 12-18 compete on Sunday, all other ages compete Saturday

  • Competition is at the Lockwood High School track facility - it's a great surface!

  • Registration fees go from $30 to $35 starting July 2nd

  • Registration link: https://bigskygames.org/sports/trackfield/

Helpful Note

If you have multiple athletic.net profiles (one for club and one for high school or middle school for example), you can combine them so your PRs show correctly/etc. To do that, follow the directions here: https://support.athletic.net/article/pt3fi2bqdj-merging-duplicate-athletes

Thank you and have a great week!
