CHSAA state track postponement creates team-building opportunities, and extra costs, for non-metro schools by KyleNewmanDP copreps
But with more snow in the forecast for Saturday, the meet might not be able to resume until Sunday, which would then mean it finishes on Monday. Those two extra days add up to thousands of dollars in unbudgeted travel costs for hotels and food alone, which stretch already-thin program budgets in addition to passing on more costs to individual families.
“Paying for rooms, food and entertainment for more days is rough,” said Coal Creek coach and athletic director Ben Kirk, whose team traveled about three hours. “Our athletic department pays for state trips at our school but I know for some schools it’s up to the kids to pay their way. Luckily, we were approved for another night of motel rooms and food. If this continues, then we might have to figure out a new plan.
But both Kirk and Bertrand agreed that whatever wait and extra costs they have to endure are worth it. “As far as being able to afford extra hotel rooms, it’s not ideal, but we’ve got to make the best out of the situation,” Bertrand said. “The only other option is to go home and nobody wants to do that. We’re up here for the kids, so if we’ve got to spend a little extra money to make this happen, that’s what we’ll do.”
