The finals of the track meet are today. There are high quality athletes partaking in the meet. I was able to meet and chat with a lot of the coaches and learn more about the recruiting process of their athletes. A lot of young men and women were going on to Division 1 schools. Before the meet got under way, we met with the commissioner of the GWOC and gathered all the medals and trophies that were going to be given out to individuals and teams. In addition, we had to divvy out GWOC shirts to our high school workers. On our trek to drop off the medals, they all fell off the gator. Since some of them were mixed up, Dave and I had to go through all the times and places for the events and make sure the correct medals were in the correct team bin. Crisis adverted as we were able to correctly divvy up the medals. Just another day in the life of an athletic director. Once we had everything set up, the track meet went on without a hitch and it was supervisor duties for the rest of the day. Only problem that came up was finding replacement batteries for the announcer. Other than that, another great day.
