► PA Open-Masters TF Championships postponed – updated 4/7
Unfortunately, our 2020 PA MTF/Open Championships Meet has been postponed until a later date to be determined, per the USATF COVID-19 Working Group recommendation “Suspend all USATF Championship events and all USATF sanctioned events indefinitely.”
Ideally, it will occur with a month of notice, and before our MTF Western Region and National Championships. But these are unusual times, so we are unsure of what will be legally allowed, medically wise, and according to USATF guidelines.
FYI, websites for other PA MTF meets currently say:
- Bay Area Senior Games: “We are re-scheduling the meet to be held Sunday, November 15th.”
- Pride Meet: “We are currently exploring options for holding the Pride Meet later in the summer. Stay tuned for more information.“
- Wine Country 2020 Sr Games: “Due to the Corona Virus Epidemic, the 2020 Games have been cancelled.”
- SG MTF Fest: “Thank you to all the athletes who attended the 2019 4th Annual Sierra Gold Masters and Open Track and Field Festival. We look forward to seeing you again at the event this year.”
Please be safe, keep training and checking the PA/MTF page, and ensure your PA/USATF membership is current since email will be sent when more is known.
Thank you! — Joseph Ols, PA Masters Chair
