The Huntsville Track Club
held an executive board meeting on October 29, 2013 at I Love Sushi. Eric opened the meeting at 6:45
The first topic was the HTC
Awards:
·
The
board discussed and voted on the different award winners.
·
It
was decided that due to the lack of HTC student members who compete and the
fact that not all local schools attend the Metro Meet that we will not award
the Outstanding High School Cross Country runners this year.
·
The
board discussed the meeting date. Karen
would like to move the meeting to December and make it more of a Christmas
Party, however with the
Discussed Cookie Dash
race. The board approved the new course
that runs roads from Hampton Cove Elementary and through Hampton Cove
subdivision. The board also approved a
price increase from $10 to $15 for the race.
The race lost some money last year that will be covered by new
sponsorship this year, however it will have the added expense of chip timing as
well.
Randy McFarland requested to
change the entry fee for the New Year's Day Fun Runs. The city has changed the
requirements for the facility that is used for the runs whereby special
approval is required from the city to have the facility rental fee waived if
the event participants are charged an entry fee. Therefore, he feels the best
thing to do is to make the event free and accept donations. This may also help
increase participation/attendance of the event.
The board approved this motion.
