Track planning

meeting- 1-24-18



Danville HS- Flex

room



Member schools met to discuss upcoming conference track

meet.  Schools present were:  Boyle, Burgin, Casey (via email), Danville,

East Jessamine, Garrard, Henry Clay, Lincoln, Mercer, Pulaski, Rockcastle,

Shelby, West Jessamine, and Woodford. 

Anderson and Bourbon were not in attendance.



There was a brief discussion about recently passed

by-laws.  It was agreed to take out the

language regarding officers, and the update the by-laws to current year

language.



Meet rotation was extensively reviewed.  Discussion included site rotation as well as

host rotation.  Due to increased

geographical spread of the conference, ideas were submitted to consider creating

a new way of determining who and where the meet will be held.  By rule, these decisions will be made each

year, but a majority of schools agreed that a school's desire to host took

precedence, and then voting about a site would be considered.  The site rotation would then be established

so that no one school, or a group of schools would always host.  This year's host will be East Jessamine.  Their tentative plan is to host at West

Jessamine's facility, but if that is not possible, then Transylvania University

in Lexington may be considered.  They

will inform the conference by March 15 of their plan.



The date of Friday May 4, 2018 was agreed upon by all.  As in the past, it was agreed that every

attempt to complete the meet on Friday night would be used, and that only after

a discussion at the meet involving all member schools and officials would a

final decision be made.  It is always a

possibility that Saturday could be used as a back-up date, but most agreed that

difficulties with getting a bus and other commitments would make this very

difficult.



Meet will begin at 6:00pm. 

We will start meet at 6:00pm unless a school contacts either the meet

manager, or officials to let them know they are running behind.  When the last bus arrives on site, we will

start meet 30 minutes later to allow for warm-up time.  Coaches meeting will take place fifteen

minutes prior to meet start.  East

Jessamine HS will be responsible for communication.  Contact Jordan Marcum, jordan.marcum@jessamine.kyschools.us
