Foreman Invitational Unaccepted Entries

SEATTLE (May 13) – Over 500 athletes have been admitted to the 18th annual Ken Foreman Invitational track & field meet, to be hosted by Seattle Pacific University this weekend. This marks the final opportunity for the Falcons and other Division II programs to post qualifying marks for the NCAA Championships.

The decathlon, heptathlon and hammer throw begin Friday afternoon in Tacoma, with the balance of events getting underway Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Southwest Athletic Complex in West Seattle. Admission is free.

Although entries to the meet have closed, the ceremonial Heritage Mile will accept entries until 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The Heritage Mile, which will begin at 12 noon, celebrates the running career of SPU cross country coach and track assistant Doris Heritage, who will undergo hip replacement next month. All proceeds (a minimum contribution of $25 is requested) from the Heritage Mile registration will benefit the Heritage Scholarship endowment.

Results from the Foreman Invitational will be posted on The Falcons Online Saturday evening.
