These 3 meets represent a unique opportunity for masters speed skaters in North America - especially the Milwaukee sprint games which will not likely return to this continent for several years to come. There is plenty of capacity for additional skaters in all these competitions and it's hoped more will decide to join in the fun in the final weeks before registration closes.
