HC women have a strong team, the men have a few good athletes but are not a strong team. Did HC even have athletes entered in this meet?

This is a Decathlon and Hepthalon event only...

HC hosts this meet annually. Most years there are HC competitors, but they would not/could not cancel it for that reason. There are relatively few opportunities for multi eventers to compete so it is a good thing that we host it.

Sorry, but I can't agree. the coach knew going back to last summer that we would not have participants in such an event, and we still host it for other schools? If you want to say we are the only school that has the T & F facilities to make it happen, then I understand, but I doubt that. Leave it to HC to bring in these schools to compete and not have a single participant from our school. I find that crazy

HC had three participants in the multis in the PL championships at the end of February. The same three also participated in the PL outdoor championships last May. All of them might have been expected to compete in this event. Maybe nursing minor injuries and need the rest with the PL championships in two weeks? |

As Bison points out I don't t think HC entered the season not planning on having any entrants, but given the recovery time after a multi event competition, it does not make sense to compete if you are not 100%. I would remind you that Coach Kavanagh competed in the decathalon as well so I am sure that he thinks that this meet ought to be a priority. It really does not cost much to host a meet and we provide a service to the college track community by doing so. HC wants other schools to rely on it as the place to compete in the mult events year in and year out so it is not a disgrace that it played out this way. |
