Founding Members Statement on Elite Masters Competition:
While there are no specific performance standards in place for membership, we
do expect to draw people to our roster that will be competitive at Masters
Nationals to a degree that we are the best Masters Team in the country. We
also expect to have as many Masters athletes on the roster as we can
register. Members that enjoy the challenge and the benefits of being a part
of a group are an element that retains importance in our desire to promote our
sport to all potential participants. "Strength in numbers" is the goal and the
key to our reaching the point where we can create and host Masters Events in
our community in future seasons.
The Indiana Invaders’ Elite Athlete Program is the standard we will reference as we build the Masters
element of the Indiana Invaders plan for a comprehensive T&F program in our community. We will also
promote, for the benefit of the entire club, elite programming successes in the Youth, Open and
Masters Categories. These programs are vital elements in our model as participation programs emerge
and grow from the Indiana Invaders plan.
As the founding members of the Indiana Invaders’ Masters Program, we are proud to play a role in the
Indiana Invaders landmark program initiative for a comprehensive, community based, track & field
program,
