Go to the meet with deserving athletes because it is a great opportunity for up and coming underclassmen athletes to participate against their peers in a state meet atmosphere for both competitive purposes as well as to keep them interested in the sport.
Not go to the meet because if the kids are any good they will get plenty of opportunities to compete in their regular duel meets, league meet and state meets. How many meets to underclassmen need to run in anyway? Plus those meets are just fundraisers for the State Track Organization.

Take qualifying athletes to the meet because they need to compete in a State Level competition and atmosphere against the best athletes in the State. It's a great opportunity to run personal bests and these types of meets are what your best athletes train for in the first place. To skip this opportunity would be an injustice to your hard working varsity athletes.
Not go to the meet because only some kids will qualify and it's a waste to spend an entire day with a relatively small group of athletes. Besides if those kids are any good they don't need to race against top competition until the League and State Championships. Running time trials against lesser competition in duel meets will get them plenty of experience for Championship Season.
