INTERNATIONAL MASTERS SHORT TRACK COMPETITION - MILWAUKEE 2006

The West Allis Speed Skating Club is considering incorporating an International Masters Short Track Competition as part of the Great Lakes Short Track Championships to be held in Milwaukee during November 4 to 5, 2006.

Preliminary plans, subject to interest, would be for 10 year age groups including 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+. The masters competition would include heats and finals in 4 shorter distances and a super-final in the longest distance. The Club is looking at using the Masters' International medallion as the award for first through third, and are trying to negogiate a fourth place medallion.

As the International Masters Speed Skating Committee only focuses on international long track competition, this is a great opportunity for masters skaters with preference for the indoor 111m oval and the excitement of short track.

The Club needs to assess interest in order to confirm the feasibility of this meet. For further information and to express your interest, please contact:
