Officials of the The Year (2011-2012)
Grif Carden
Helen Carden
We are proud to announce the Officials of the Year for the 2011-2012 Cross Country and Track and Field Seasons!
Grif Carden and Helen Carden have been selected for this honor. Every race starts and ends with this couple. Helen is the smiling face that the athletes first see when they check in for their race. As the clerk, she makes sure that the athletes have the proper uniform as she gives them their heat and lane assignments. Grif is the familiar face at the finish line that makes sure that the finish order is recorded properly and that each athlete has run the correct number of laps. As the Finish Line Coordinator, Grif does a great job in keeping everything organized and accurate. Helen and Grif worked tirelessly this season. They set the bar high as they officiated in 16 Meets that were coordinated by Throwsguru.com
How It Works for Officials (Free service for Officials)
- Submit your officials application located on the Official’s Application page.
- Select which meet you want to officiate (the schedule is located on the Upcoming Meets Page) and send an e-mail to coachbunn@throwsguru.com indicating which meets you would like to officiate.
- Selections will go on the website once the officials coordinator or meet director has made his/her selections along with hotel information and report times.
- Then you need to confirm by e-mail to the meet’s Official’s Coordinator letting him know that you accept the assignment.
