Greetings CPTCers!
This is longtime member/former asst. coach/former board member John Affleck and I’m writing to encourage you to come out and cheer on your teammates at the USATF Club Nationals this Friday (night) and Saturday (all day) at Icahn Stadium (see link below).
This is an awesome meet, partly because it’s not a collection of individual races but a real team meet, with CPTC taking on competitors from across the country in field events, sprints, distance races and relays. We are the defending champs, as you probably know, with more than 60 CPTCers entered. The competition gets tougher every year, so it’s shaping up to be a great weekend of track & field.
Additionally, the men’s 400 meters is in memory of Dave Blackstone, Jack Brennan and Sheldon Karlin, which gives us a little extra motivation.
Also, CPTC has organized an Expo at the meet so you can shop when you’re not cheering. New Balance, Mizuno, Skin Compression, Urban Athletics, and Strands.com all will have booths. Strands – a running Web site – will have the event T-Shirts at their booth.
Plus, any purchase from Urban results in a donation back to CPTC!
How can you lose???!!!!
Finally, CPTC members and significant others all are invited out for a celebratory drink at the Central Bar in the East Village at 9 p.m. on Saturday night once the meet is over.
Hope to see you there! A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
John
