I don't mean to be harsh ,but I went to a track meet last night that was painful. To say it was poorly run and supervised is to be exceedingly kind. Delays, agonizingly slow recording / reporting times .visiting squads placing and removing hurdles without assistance of the sponsoring school was unprecedented-- kudos to the coach of the visiting MAC school. Many schools do it well- visit Celina,Spencerville,Minister and many others,but it is astonishing how poor some schools do. Now we can blame lack of community support or other common excuses, but the 5 "P's" explain it all. Prior planning prevents poor performance. Get with it coach- talk and strut less-- plan and supervise better. Any comments?

Hope it wasn't Coldwater. I always thought our crew did a nice job with meets.

Coldwater was the Mac school that bailed out the host school.

OK, good. Then I know exactly who the host school was. Shame they had so much trouble with the meet.

Recently went to a JH meet at Shawnee that I felt was painfully disorganized.
