There are three USATF meets available this coming weekend:
Firebird Invitational, Gaithersburg, MD. Even the team website does not list meet, so no info available. There are telephone numbers on the PVA website Youth Schedule document.
Tommie Smith Invitational, Washington DC. Never been, don't know what to expect. Registration is CoachO.com
Technique Relays, Hampton, VA. Armstrong Stadium, Hampton University. Nice track, big stadium, little room for tents inside. Same teams as the Real Deal Classic. Registration is CoachO.com ($11.63 per) and closes 5/12 midnite. The Thomases are attending this one.
If I remember correctly, Greene County Hershey local meet is the 15th, too. No cost, at WMHS track. Plenty of room for tents.

Real Deal Results
Wow, what a day for the young ladies.
According to what I could find, looks like we have seven Personal Records (PRs). Maddie got three with a 1:41.20 400m, 3:54.94 800m, and a Long Jump of 8'2". Ellie PR'ed in the 400m, 132.29 and the 800m finishing 4th with 3:30.73. She also jumped 8'0", getting her third PR of the day. Kiana improved in the 100m, with a PR of 16.43 (5th). She also took second in the long jump with an 8'11" mark. Kiana also ran a 1:27.92 400m, finishing seventh.
Camron was feeling the pain from his hip injury, and was unable to compete at his normal level of excellence.
Congratulations to the team, always improving!!!
Hope you feel better soon, Cam.
