NMITFF meets today to discuss Micro Cup
The Northern Mariana Islands Track and Field Federation will hold an important meeting today to discuss important matters relating to the hosting of the upcoming Micronesia Cup.
NMITFF official Elias Rangamar said the meeting will get underway at 3:30pm at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium conference room.
The Micro Cup will be held on Dec. 14 and 15 and will play host to about 100 tracksters from Guam, CNMI, Palau, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, and Kiribati.
Meanwhile, the NMITFF announced that it will hold qualifying trials for the Micro Cup.
The first trial will be held on Oct. 1 at the Oleai Sports Complex track and field oval, beginning at 4pm.
More trials will be held in the coming months and dates will be released soon.
Rangamar said the main track and field events will be featured during the trial—sprints, middle distance, and throws.
“Anyone interested in representing the CNMI in the Micro Cup is welcome to take part in the trials and must qualify for each event to make the CNMI team,” Rangamar said.
Team CNMI, which will be led by head coach Bob Winkfield, is allowed only three slots in each event for both the male and female category.
Rangamar also extended on behalf of NMITFF an invitation to anyone interested in volunteering to assist officials before and during the games.
