Updates /News:
- Per a communication from Tiffany Matula (Jeremy’s wife), there is a significant shortage of PIAA Officials for HS Track and Field. To become an official you only have to take a 1-time test and then attend four yearly chapter meetings. Per Tiffany, her chapter is “very friendly and willing to mentor and help out with needed gear”. By becoming a track and field official you are paid $90 per meet and may also officiate X-C meets in the fall.
- See email from 3/13 for contact details
- FMTC Board will meet on March 23rd. PLEASE let the board know if you have thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for the 2023 Season
- Board contacts: Kirchner J, Delia, Matula, McMillan J, Nesbitt, Sollenberger, Richter B
- Please update your USATF membership if you plan on competing for FMTC in 2023
