CHICAGO MARIST TRACK AND FIELD

On Thursday, February 1, 2007, Northside Head Coach Jon Gordon received a voice mail upon returning home from practice from Whitney Young Girls Head Coach Bob Geiger. The Whitney Young Invitational has been canceled due to paper work problems and full details would be given by Whitney Young later. The meet will not be re-scheduled. Northside Head Coach Jon Gordon contacted Evanston High School Friday morning in an effort to find a replacement meet for Saturday. However, with one days notice and a full field, Evanston was unable to accomodate Northside for Saturday, but did offer Northside a spot in the meet for 2008. At approximately 10 am, the phone started ringing off the hook, once word got out that the Mustangs were looking for a meet to add to their 2007 Schedule. The Mustangs received several invitations from their IHSA Sectional rivals. A special thanks to Glenbrook North Boys Head Coach Matt Purdy for inviting the Mustangs to the Spartan Classic on Tuesday, February 13, 2007. A special thanks to New Trier Boys Head Coach Jim Casey for inviting the Mustangs to the Trevians February 20, 2007 Invitational featuring Loyola, Lake View, Northside and host New Trier High School. The Mustangs also accepted an invitation for an April 17, 2007 Outdoor Meet at New Trier High School as well. Practice will take place today at 3:45 pm.
