“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Julian Hofschneider, Eric San Nicholas, Josh Zietlow, Ed Temengil, the volunteers and students for making our trip there possible and for being such a gracious host,” said Elias Rangamar, meet director, in an email to Variety.
“The lack of equipment and regular competitions never dampened the spirits and competitive energy of those students as they braved the windy conditions. I wish all the students the best of luck and hope to see them all on Saipan come May 6th & 7th,” Rangamar further stated.
All schools qualifier on Saipan
In regards to the PSS meet being conducted at the Oleai Complex on Saipan, races will resume today.
Today the 4 x 100m relays for all private and public elementary, junior high, and high schools are scheduled to kick off at the Oleai complex.
The Variety learned that revisions were made to the schedule of the remainder of the All Schools qualifiers starting next week leading up to the championship rounds on May 6-7. Rangamar also said that April 18-22 will be spring break for most schools so he postponed the meet for that week to the following week.
He advised all coaches to “please go over the revised schedule as the program schedule has been completely revamped.”
