Info on MSTCA relays by John Huth:
The Mass Track and Field Coaches Association (MSTCA) holds several relay meets simultaneously - each one is done within the Divisional rankings of high schools in the state - e.g. Class A = Division 1, etc.
The Class A's are held in Andover tomorrow- directions are the same as last week - but in case you forgot - take Rt. 128 N to I-93, exit at Rt. 133 - just before I-495 intersection. Drive a mile or so, turn right onto Shawsheen Road - Andover HS should be just on your right.

The running events are all boys, followed by all girls. Boys events start at 9:30 AM, girls running events at 12:30. Field events are girls first - at 9:30 AM, and boys field events at 12:30.

The one exception is the 4xmile relay, which is boys at 9:30, girls at appox 9:45 AM. If you're coming, you'll want to see the girls 4xmile. We have a very strong team that took 3rd in the Indoor Nationals, and are looking to return to the Outdoor Nationals in North Carolina. With luck, this race will give us a good seed for the Outdoor Nat's. Other "loaded" teams are likely to be the girls and boys 4x1 and 4x2's.
The Distance Medley legs are 1200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m. The Sprint Medley is 400m, 200m, 200m, 800m.
