Meet coordinator, Ian Mellors, e-mailed the following update today -
The annual short track meet hosted by the Banff/Canmore SSC is upcoming on December 11 - 12. We are again running the Masters Meet, the Masters Ice Racing Challenge, where the Masters will skate 7 times over two days, racing the 4 Masters distances.
This year we have expanded our Masters weekend. Masters skaters encompass many different types of skaters. Some skate for the thrill of competition, some to improve their skills and others as a fun form of exercise. The Masters Ice Racing Challenge (MIRC) was created to celebrate Masters short track skating. We have revamped the schedule for the weekend to include both the competitive skater and the recreational skater.
As in the past, MIRC will be combined with the annual short track ability meet hosted by the club, the Canmore Ice Racing Challenge. Skating will commence Friday night, starting with the 1000m for the competitive Masters, and exhibition races (666m, 777m, and 1000m) for age class skaters. The purpose of the exhibition races is to give age class skaters (Midget, Juvenile, Junior and Intermediate) the opportunity to get a sanctioned time in each of their official age class distances. New this year, between the 1000m heats and finals there will be approximately one hour of ice available for recreational Masters skaters to participate in skating skills activities with a coach.
Racing will continue on Saturday. The competitive Masters will skate the 777m, 500m and 1500m super final, along with the youth skaters competing in CIRC. The youth skaters will race five times over three different distances in an ability racing format.
For more information please review the attached Information sheet, forms can be found at our website.
For Masters who would like to take part in MIRC, please let me know your intent to participate asap, and if you will be participating in the banquet and Sunday Clinic, so that we can plan accordingly.
If you have any questions please drop me a line.
Sincerely,
Ian Mellors
