Welcome back! It's about time to begin our 2013 track and field season. This year we are adding two additional items to our schedule? First we are becoming both an AAU and a USATF competition team. Why? By joining USATF our club can obtain the 501(c)3 non-profit status that has alluded RETC since our formation. To gain their non-profit status we must commit to competing in two AAU meets in 2013.
Our second exciting adventure is taking the entire team up to Oregon to compete on Hayward Field (July 13-14). This is the location where the 2012 USA Olympic T&F trials were held. RETC families can take the train to Eugene (or an 8-hour car ride), get off the train and walk to a local hotel. Never need to rent a car! USATF Nationals will be on the east coast in North Carolina this year and it may prove too cost prohibitive to travel that far for many families; hence, we hope everyone can save up and attend the meet.
