Weather forces meet to one-day slate
SEATTLE – Due to expected inclement weather and a campus-wide shutdown, the Husky Classic meet planned for this Friday and Saturday in the Dempsey has had a significant schedule change but will still provide a complete program of events and a full day of top-notch competition condensed into Friday.
Saturday's session will no longer be held and the start of Friday's session has been moved to the morning, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding at 4 p.m.
Please see the following update from Washington Director of Track & Field Maurica Powell and Head Coach Andy Powell.
Coaches and Athletes,
As you may be aware, in anticipation of significant snowfall beginning on Friday afternoon, the University of Washington Seattle campus will suspend operations at 12:30 pm, Friday, February 8, and all day on Saturday, February 9. Accordingly, the Husky Classic will be halted at 4pm on Friday afternoon. We will collapse our schedule into a condensed time frame FRIDAY ONLY. The competition director will assess conditions throughout the day and will determine if further schedule changes are necessary.
In the interest of creating a meet program that provides NCAA qualifying opportunities we will prioritize holding those events with the most potential NCAA qualifiers, as well as those original Day 1 events for which most competitors are already safely in Seattle. We will condense heats and flights as best we can and do everything possible to provide competitive opportunities given our time limitations tomorrow.
We truly appreciate your patience. Please make your paramount consideration be the safety of your teams and use caution when traveling to and from campus during this period of inclement weather.
