Track fans, coaches and athletes,

It's time! One of the best track meets in the United States is about to begin. The first race of the 2010 Glenn D. Loucks Games is set to begin at 5:00 on Thursday May 6th.

Much speculation has been made concerning our new policy of limiting the number of athletes in 3 races: the 800 Meters (60 athletes), the 1600 Meters (45 athletes) and the 3200 Meters (30 athletes). We felt that we needed to make this chance to better serve those in attendance, making us a better meet. 

Coaches we are sure that there is concern about the status of athletes in those races.

We will issue a list of accepted athletes and a ranking of those on the Provisional List.

Note: these links will be activated sometime after noon on Tuesday May 4th.

With the continued growth of our meet, the Executive Loucks Games Committee has given meet director Fred Singleton permission to place a limit on some of the events. Thus, starting in 2010 the 800 Meters, 1600 Meters and 3200 Meters will have limits placed on the number of participants. The limits will be: 800 Meters - 60 athletes (roughly 5 heats of 12) 1600 Meters - 45 athletes (roughly 3 heats of 15) 3200 Meters - 30 athletes (roughly 2 heats of 15). Enter athletes on Directathletics (remember - no estimated performances in the 800, 1600 or 3200 meters - actual times only). Remember to list the meet at which the performance was reached.

The 2009 High School Torch-BearersSince 1968 at the Glenn D. Loucks Games, there have been 1,995 Loucks Games trophies  awarded. These tropies  (actually known as The Olympian) were the creation of the late, world-famous sculptor, Lumen Martin Winter.

The total number of trophies does not reflect the trophies that were awarded in the 5K Road Race, the Master's Mile or the Wheelchair races, but does take into account four trophies for each of the various winning relays in the meet's 42 year history.

According to Meet Historian, Fred Singleton, who carefully studied the results from each meet, "We are at 1,995 and counting. On Thursday, after the Men's East Coast DMR Challenge Cup, we will have awarded 1,999 trophies. Thus, the leadoff leg (the 1,200 Meter leg) of the victorious team of the Women's East Coast DMR Challenge Cup will have the distinction of being handed the 2,000th trophy in meet history. That trophy will have a special engravement plate on it, symbolic of the magintude of the event. I wonder which person from which team will recieve it."

Presently plans for the awarding of the trophy are not complete, but fans of the Loucks Games will want to be on hand for the brief ceremony.
