The anticipation by athletes, coaches and fans is mounting after the release on Friday of the official entries for the CIAC State Open Outdoor Track and Field Championships that starts on Monday, June 5th at 1:30pm for field events and 2:00pm for track events at Veterans’ Stadium at Willow Brook Park in New Britain.
The recent CIAC Class Championships had provided the five top five (5) in each event as well as several more athletes or relay teams that qualified by obtaining the special (automatic) standard for their event at a class meet. The special standard was set after the class meets ended and determined by reviewing the performance rankings for each event that included the top five (5) qualifying performances from each of the class meets. The 12th place performance from the qualifiers was the automatic standard for this year. All athletes who met that standard during the class championships advanced to the open.
You can view all of the event entries at the CIAC State Open Outdoor T&F Championships site in Athletic.net at https://live.nestiming.com/meets/25975 which will also host the Live Results courtesy of Northeast Sports Timing during the meet on Monday.
