Officials

Key officials (referee, starter, finish line, FAT) will be certified officials. Each team is asked to provide one coach to assist with relay exchanges, turn judging, and field event assistance. The meet directors of the 2 district meets and the starter will act as the Jury of Appeals. If an appeal involves a team associated with a member of the Jury, a substitute from the same district will be assigned.

Qualifiers

1) The top 6places in individual events and the top 3 relay teamsfrom each district championship advance to the Region 4A-C Championship.

2) Any other athlete or relay team who has met regional/state standards in a 3 or more team meet and who is listed on Milestat.

3) If an athlete or relay team has met a regional/state standard not in a meet listed on Milestat, the coach must email or FAX the meet results and VHSL regional/state qualifying form to Craig Woshner (meet director) no later than 1 day after the district championship meet. Remember you may use the best time of the season in a 3 or more team meet(as long as it is on milestat) for your entry even if it is not a regional qualifying time.

Scoring

8 places (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1) for all events, including relays.

Awards

Team Champions & Runner-Up

Medals to top 8 individuals and top 3 relay teams. Coaches should pick up awards packet prior to leaving the meet.

Entries

You will be doing your entries for the Region 4A-C meet twice:

1) Online on Milestat

2) On paper using the Regional Entry Form

Both entries are due by 8:00 p.m. on Monday February 5, 2018. On the VHSL form, you must state the meet and the date of each performance. Milestat entries will open on February 3, 2018. VHSL entry forms must be faxed or emailed to Craig Woshner. Remember to include names of potential alternate relay runners who are not participating in an individual event.

Milestat entries are final and must meet the 3-event running rule (2 if one is 3200m run). Relay team members are not final until the relay card is turned in to the clerk.

Email is preferred over faxing if possible. Please email VHSL entry forms to woshnerc@fcpsk12.net. Coaches will be emailed a VHSL Regional Entry Form at least a week before the meet or coaches may use the Indoor Track Regional Entry Form at www.vhsl.org. Remember, all performances should be verified on the VHSL form.

You will also be entering on Milestat, and the Milestat entries will be uploaded into the Regional Meet. If there is a conflict with the Milestat and VHSL entries that cannot be resolved, the VHSL entry will override the Milestat performance (I will attempt to contact the coach first). Early VHSL entries will be most appreciated.

Scratches

Email early scratches (no penalty) to woshnerc@fcpsk12.net by the entry deadline but before noon on Wednesday, February 6, so the meet can be properly seeded for the program and events reseeded. After this time, scratches will be taken at the coaches meeting without penalty. No additions will be allowed after the February 5 Milestat and VHSL form deadline.

No outside food or drink is permitted into the facility. There will be concessions available in the lobby of the ARCC. The lobby is the only place were food and drink are permitted.
