THSPA Region I Division I Championships Saturday, March 14, 2015 Midland High School Coaches, I hope that your season is going well and you are seeing your athletes reach the goals that they intended to meet. Attached is some important information that you need to know in preparation for the Regional and State meets. Names- Check and make sure that all of your lifters names are correct on the website. If there are any errors or double listings due to misspellings let me know because this is how they will appear in the programs and on the lifter cards at the Regional and State meet. Last Qualifying Date- February 28, 2015. We are hosting a meet in Midland on February 28th if any schools are still looking for a qualifier. All results from any qualifying meets, should be sent in by midnight on the 28th. No results will be accepted after that time. Weight Declaration- If you have any lifters who are qualified in more than one weight class, you must declare his weight class by 4:00 pm on Monday, March 2. If you do not declare by this time, the lifter will be placed in the heavier weight class. Also, if you have any qualified lifters who are not going to compete at the Regional meet, let me know by 4:00 also. You must contact me by email or cell phone. If you fail to remove a lifter, you will still be responsible for the $30.00 entry fee. The top 10 lifters in each weight class qualify for the Regional meet and I will allow places 11- 15 to lift if coaches want to bring them.
