Chandler Rotary Track Meet on deck Friday, Saturday

March 21, 2011 by Les Willsey, AZPreps365


The 71st annual Chandler Rotary Track and Field Meet will be bigger than ever Friday March 25 and Saturday March 26 as meet director Dave Shapiro reports 107 teams are entered.

Now that total includes some teams that are sending just a few athletes, but  that's a whopping total. At least 20 of the schools are from out of state. The Friday session is the open portion of the meet, Saturday is the elite (seeded) session  featuring many of the top athletes locally and from the aforementioned out-of-state schools.

The predicted weather will be ideal with temperatures in the high 70s maybe 80. That's better than the 90 degree temps recorded last week. More details on the meet coming later in the week.
