We are less than a week out from the April 19 entry deadline for the Trials of Miles Kansas City Qualifier high school races. Some of you have filled out the Google doc that Trials of Miles set up to assess interest/field sizes but still need to register for the race. Registration info is below, as are qualifying standards and links to additional information. Also linked below is the tentative schedule (including live stream info), and covid protocol information.
The Kansas City Qualifier is Saturday, May 1 at the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas. The meet will be live streamed on the Citius Mag YouTube channel and hosted by 3:52 miler Kyle Merber and Citius Mag podcaster Chris Chavez.
The pro race fields in this meet will provide an incredible opportunity for the high school athletes competing to share the track with some world-class athletes. Top seeds entered in the 800m, 1500m, 3000m steeplechase, and 5,000m to date are respectively (men/women): 1:44/1:58, 3:37/4:07, 8:13/9:30, and 13:09/15:16.
