PATRIOT’S INVITATIONAL 2017!

       It is almost here!  Can you smell it?  Can you hear it?  Can you feel it?  The 2017 Patriot’s invitational is now less than two (2) weeks away!  The Empire State Sports Council is pleased to announce the 13th Annual Liberty Tour Track & Field Series!  As always, it will begin with the Patriot’s Invitational on Saturday, May 27th!  However, this year we are going to start a bit later in the day (4:00 pm), as this will allow Teams from further away ample time to get a good night’s sleep on Friday, and plenty of time to arrive rested and prepared to compete.

       In addition, the 2017 Patriot’s Invitational will also be the host of the Star & Stripes 5k Twilight Run!  We will forward more about that in a follow-up message tomorrow!  Be prepared to invite members of your Team to participate in this event, as it WILL SCORE POINTS for your overall Team Total for the Liberty Tour Track & Field Series!

       Once again, Liberty Sports Gear has agreed to provide Gift Certificates to the Top Four (4) Teams in scoring for the 2017 Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, but they have added to the previous overall amount by $400!  That IS correct!  Liberty Sports Gear will provide $1,500 this year in Gift Certificates, instead of $1,100 in 2016.  Hence, the following Gift Certificate Prizes will be offered:

1st Place - $600
2nd Place - $400
3rd Place - $300
4th Place - $200

       Both the Adirondack District Championships, and the Liberty Games, will be weighted!  Moreover, both of these Liberty Tour Track & Field Series meets WILL contest the Combined Events (Triathlon, Pentathlon, Heptathlon, Decathlon, Master’s Pentathlon, Weight Pentathlon).  The Adirondack District Championships will award 1.5 Points for every point scored, and at the Liberty Games your Team can earn Double Points for each point scored!
