Regarding our meet tomorrow (Sunday 1/18) - this email was sent to our Meet Manager/President in regards to saftey tomorrow:
In light of recent events, the University has established protocols in place to address any safety concerns, including coordination with UMPD if necessary. Our staff is aware of these procedures and prepared to respond and notify the appropriate personnel should the need arise. While we are not anticipating any issues, our goal is simply to ensure that all officials, participants, and attendees feel safe and supported in our facility. Let me know if you have any questions and have a good weekend!
Our President (Josh Ge**er) has this to say:
We are fully committed to hosting a positive and competive event at the University of Minnesota Field House. The saftey of our athletes, spectators, and officials is always our top priority. Working with our partners at the U of MN I am confident in the planning that we have for our meet tomorrow. Our meet will go on as scheduled unless the U of MN doesn't feel it's safe to do so.
Thanks,
Josh Ge**er
USATF Minnesota President
