Track Events:
All track events will run as finals (heats against time). Reasonable effort will be made to keep same school athletes separated in lane races but not be possible if times are similar. The fastest heat will run last.
Sprint and Hurdle events (100m, 200m, 400m, 100/110 and 300 hurdles) will start and finish in the same lanes.
Distance events will use a single or double waterfall start depending on the number of entries.
Track athletes must check in with the clerk of the course in the bullpen at the Finish line area of the track to pick up HIP Numbers. Throwers and jumpers will check in at the event.
Boys track races will go first followed by Girls.
*We will not be hosting Pole vault or Javelin*
Long and Triple Jump
High Jump (Starting height for boys 5'0" and girls 4' 0")
Starting heights may be changed by the meet director which will be communicated at the coaches' meeting.
If an athlete needs to leave for another event, they must check out with the event judge.
NOTE: When they return, they will have to jump at the height the bar is at upon their return - High Jump. The judge is not allowed to go back and reset the bar to a lower height.
Shot, Discus: Athletes will compete in flights. Each athlete will get four throws, no finals.
A hog line MAY be established to keep the event moving. In the event a hog line is set up, for those competitors whose first three throws do not reach the hog line, their 4th throw will be recorded.
No reverse runs in then-on-legal direction during warm-ups will be allowed on horizontal jumps. Please ensure your athlete is prepared for this. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!
