Hello,
Next Friday, March 5, is the Karl Schlender Last Chance meet at UW-Whitewater in Whitewater, WI, with the starting at 11 AM with the pentathlon and women's high jump, and 5 PM with the regular field and running events. Whitewater is about a 1 hour drive from Milwaukee. This meet is a D3 last chance meet with competition mostly trying to qualify for NCAA D3 Nationals, so you should also use this meet as your "peak" meet of the indoor season! If interested, please reply via e-mail only by no later than noon on Tuesday, March 2, with your selected event(s), seed time(s)/mark(s), and relay interest!! Incomplete entries (lacking seed times/marks, etc.), and late entries will not be accepted!! Also, let me know if you would need to carpool or if you're driving yourself. We only have a 7 passenger minivan and may need to ask someone to help carpool, so the sooner you'd let me know if you need a ride, the better I can make arrangements to assure you'd have a spot in the carpool! The cost of this meet is $15 per person, plus the cost of gas (your portion if carpooling as a passenger). Meet fee payment must be received to me by no later than next Tuesday, March 2 (cost of gas portions would be determined Friday). If I do not receive your meet fee payment by next Tuesday, your entry will be scratched!! Those waived of paying these fees are: 1. New members who have paid for the last GMTC recognized meet they've partipated in and/or have paid for indoor facility use to attend any of our practices this week (a receipt would be required). 2. UWM students (if not in excess of 9...more than 9, and there may be some partial cost based on the number of students exceeding 9). 3. Returning members who have earned coverage through participation in last summer's GMTC fundraising efforts. If you do not fall in any of the 3 catagories above, then please either arrange to pay me during our organized practice, or mail your payment (check only) to me, which must be received in the mail by Tuesday, March 2! Make checks payable to: Greater Milwaukee Track Club If mailing, then send payment to: Greater Milwaukee Track Club 3349 S. 3rd St. Milwaukee, WI 53207 Here is the order of events!! Hope to see you next Friday! Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,
Due to the increase of intramural teams using the Klotsche Center, the start time for organized practice on Mondays and Wednesdays will be 5:30 PM! If you need to get in as a guest, please arrive 15 minutes earlier and also let me know by 4 PM that day that you need to get in as a guest so I can make arrangements for you. Practice on Thursdays at MSOE will still continue to start at 5 PM. Also due to not having a meet to attend next weekend, there will be a "time trial" practice added this Friday at the UWM Klotsche Center, tentatively starting at 6:30 PM! I would need to know if you plan on attending, 'cause part of the time trial could be a relay! :-) More details on the time trial events for both distance runners and sprinters will be listed on the agenda, which will follow this e-mail. Thanks, Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
