Liberty Games Track & Field
The Liberty Games was supposed to be the final Meet for the 20th Anniversary of the Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, as it has been since 2012! To our surprise, late last week, we were notified by the Facility that the Construction Company handling the Exterior Work to the High School doesn’t want to deal with “Traffic” once the School Year ended, which was last Thursday! ☹
With the Empire State Sports Council hosting the Region I Track & Field Championships June 25th -28th, we were NOT in a position to search for an alternate site, last week. We tried to do so on Monday – Thursday of this week, but with school out, and this being the 4th of July week, finding any “Decision Makers” has been a difficult task!
Unfortunately, for the 1st time in the 20 years of the Liberty Tour, we are forced to CANCEL a Meet! ☹ We DO Apologize for the inconvenience, but without a Facility, we are unable to have the Liberty Games Championships in 2026! Nonetheless, we will notify you of the Liberty Tour Schedule for 2027, which is available in January.
