The first state qualifier of the indoor season is on tap this Saturday with the annual RITCA Invitational at the PCTA fieldhouse. The co-ed meet, slated to begin at 10 a.m., will feature a full slate of events where qualifying standards are required to enter. It will follow State Meet order, beginning with the 4×800-meter and 4x200m relays, followed by the 3,000m as the first individual event.
There’s a few things to take note of for this weekend’s competition. The Bobby Doyle Summer Classic and the Marine Corp will be sponsoring its Toys for Tots out in the lobby. They ask that you bring an unwrapped toy to the PCTA and suggest items like iTunes gift cards, sports balls or movie passes. Please help the less fortunate during this time of year by donating to this worthwhile cause.
Additionally, Marathon Sports and Ocean State Running will be on hand, selling meet T-shirts and other coveted merchandise. Need any Christmas present ideas? Here’s you answer.
Below is a link to LIVE results. Once we receive entries, we’ll let you know some of the top events to watch at this weekend’s meet.
