General Rules
Awards
Athletes should know what events they are running and the parents should listen to be aware of when they are occurring. Schedules are rolling and events may start earlier than posted.
Athletes must determine their races and events at practices the week before the meet and communicate to coaches. Coaches then enter athletes to our timing system. Parents can review entries when posted 48 hours before and put in 1 request for changes 24 hours before. NO DAY OF ENTRIES OR EVENT CHANGES.
Athletes can select 3 events max. All athletes should compete in a field event. Relays do not count towards the 3 events.
Cheering is great! But no parents on or inside the track.
No flash photography, bells, or horns.
False starts result in a double gun/whistle and recall of runners to restart the race.
Lanes will be assigned to runners, they must stay in them or they could be DQ'd.
