In terms of timing - it should go reasonably quickly - because the number of heats is limited by the total number of entries.
Location is Durfee High School, 360 Elsbree Street, Fall River
Directions - Rt. 128 South to Rt. 24, south - follow this about 36 miles.
Exit 5 off of Rt. 24 for US-6 toward Eastern/Ave/President Ave
At President Ave. Rotary, take the first exit onto President Ave/US-6 West
after about 0.3 miles, take a right on Elsbree Street.

As usual, get there early for parking.
I'll try to send around a preview - but quickly -

Big races for NS in the girls mile and 2 mile. Kirsten Kasper joins the mix in the girls mile, Emily Jones in the 2 mile. Should be interesting races. We have both the boys and girls 4x8's which are pretty highly seeded. The girls 4x4 is also in there. Nalis in the shot put and jav. Yong Cho, Ross MacDonald, Gerald Arneaud and Andrew Wortham are in the 110m hurdles, Pole vault, 400m and the 2 mile. All have big shots at placing.

The boys 1 mile features Omar Aden from Charlestown - the fastest qualifying. The big question is whether Robert Gibson from Brookline can make it competitive.
