    This is the longest track meet I have ever attended. I thought it might be better than last year, but I believe it was worse. I feel sorry for atheletes and parents who had to stay till the last event. Get better organized!

    We were there from the 3200 to the 4 X 400. Eight hours made for a long day. I think it was their first actual Invitational (last year was a mid week thing), so I guess they have a lot to learn. But is was a bad first sign when they had two teenagers taking money from the cars. That line was backed up forever. They needed to split up and take money from two cars at a time. And the concession stand was on the wrong side. The spectators had to walk around the track to get to it. KFC was actually closer! It was pitch dark by the time they ran the last race. Almost ran into the same problem they had last year when they had to cancel some events because there were no lights. Hopefully they learned from their mistakes and next year will be better...if the teams come.

    Definitely way too long due to not being organized and no lights for the track field once it gets dark. That's just too dangerous for the runners as they could get hurt. Also the kids were tired after waiting all day to run their events. There has to be better organization for this event. Way too much down time.
