I think it has been replaced with a USA vs China and someone else meet. At least that's what the talk was last year.

Track and Field News mentioned it briefly in the last issue (which I don't have on me). They said it was going to be the same weekend as NCAAs and that selection procedures had not been annnounced.

OK that new meet has already fallen through.

The Seattle International is being planned right now, they are working on finalizing a date and location (probably mid-June, Shoreline Stadium).

I'll let you guys know when and where and who can enter.

OK I just got the final word from Bill Roe...

SI got cancelled by two of the three partners -- PNTF and PNTF Officials didn't want to do it on short notice -- no opportunity for sponsors, lots of opportunity for losses...

But the all-comers are looking good -- we might have 11 of 12 sold already!!

Bill


So no Seattle International, and no other international meet in WA this year :(

I hope it works out getting the guys vault added to the Canadian meets.
