This meeting will also help us find volunteers to help with the FIRST home Track Meet in Northside history, the Mustang Classic, which will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2009. The meet will feature three divisions (Varsity, J.V., Sophomore/Freshman), with unlimited entries in the Junior Varsity division, and four entries per event in the Varsity and Sophomore/Freshman divisions. Awards will be given for all divisions. We currently need 16 timers and 7 score keepers.
Former Mather Track star Chris Wilhite will be at the meeting to talk about the importance of proper running shoes and racing spikes, and will have shoes available for purchase.
On Wednesday, February 4, 2009, at 7 pm, prior to the Mustangs first meet of the season, Universal Sole will host a pizza party for Northside Athletes and parents. Universal Sole is located at 3052 N. Lincoln in Chicago, Illinois 60657 and specializes in Track & Field shoes.

Universal Sole will provide a discount to Northside athletes, and are highly recommended.
