Hi, I'm from the Bard High School team in NYC. Unfortunately, the LIRR has stopped running the early train between Atlantic Terminal and Jamaica, meaning that all of our members would have to take the 5:51 out of Penn Station. This means that some of our members would have to wake up at 3:45 AM to travel to the station. Is it possible to take the next LIRR train to Kings Park, which gets in at 8:56 AM? I know this would mean we'd probably miss the first round, but are you able to accommodate this? If not, we totally understand, and we will try to plan accordingly.

Best,
