      NOTES:

        Miscellaneous



        - All entries will now be done on Milestat.com.They will be due at 12 noon on meet day.You will receive a program with heats/seeding no later than 2 pm on meet day. Please note that there will be NO SUBSTITUTIONS on meet day.If your athlete does not show, he/she will not run.

        - The entry limitations are set in place so that we can successfully run the events in the limited time we have allotted.We have to be out at 10 pm.Please do not ask for extra slots in any event, or to "trade" entries.We cannot accommodate such requests fairly.Please plan ahead accordingly.

        - All events will be timed using FAT (Fully Automated Timing), with the exceptions of the 4x800m relay and the JV 55m Dash. Each athlete will receive a hip number for each race at check in (except for JV 55m Dash).- Please make sure to deposit your hip number in the trash can following each race, so they don't get stuck to the floor. Varsity ONLY 55m Dash runners will check in on homestretch; JV 55 Dash will check in on the backstretch (w/out hip numbers).

        - JV 55m Dash- This is the only event for which we will need parent timing.In addition, this is the only event which will require tags for your runners.The tags will be collected and put into the official results on Milestat, but will not be timed electronically.

        - All schools must provide a coach to help count laps and time their distance runners. (1000, 1600, 3200 & 4x800m).

        Scoring -only three athletes and one relay are eligible per school per event to score

        * No spikes are allowed in the facility. Athletes will be disqualified for wearing spikes. Represent your school well by showing good sportsmanship. No throwing or kicking balls, frisbees, hacky sacks, etc. Many thanks to athletes,coaches and spectators for placing trash in the proper receptacles.

        - All athletes, coaches & spectators must vacate the premises within ten minutes of the completion of the final event.

        - Results will be posted on Milestat,com at the conclusion of each meet.

        - Each team is expected to provide help for their assigned duties. Helpers should either include a coach or a competent/trained adult. Duties include:

        Boys/Girls Shot Put (3-4)- Coach/competent, trained adult to lead event and to mark, plus student helpers to retrieve shots & pull tape.

        Boys/Girls High Jump (3)- Coach/competent, trained adult to lead event/record, plus two student helpers to replace bar. Move the mats/standards at the end of the night.

        Hurdle Crew (10-12)- Set up Hurdles at the start of the 55m Hurdles; Raise them between the girls/boys events (2 notches), re-set them between heats.Remove hurdles from track following the boys 55m hurdles; set up barrier by start/finish line.Put them away at end of the night (during 3200m run). You should assign two athletes per row of hurdles during event tore-set them as needed, and to keep meet moving. Between genders, re-set weights. After boys hurdles, lower the height back down to girls' height.

        Hip Numbers (3)- You will need a minimum of three athletes/parents to help distribute hip numbers.We will have 2-3 teams doing this (you may wish to split boys & girls).Hip numbers will be distributed in the far corner nearest the start of the 55m dash.Helpers should report no later than 5:15 pm, as athletes will need to check in for earliest events.Each athlete will get a hip number for each event, and it should be placed on their left hip, in a visible fashion so that it can be seen by the camera. For relays, only the anchor leg needs a hip number. Check-in table workers will receive a program which indicates whichheat and which lane/hip-number each athlete is assigned.

        JV 55m Dash- All schools must provide 3 timers (total of 24).We will st art the JV 55m Dash on the back stretch (4 lanes), at the same time as the 55m Hurdles. When the varsity hurdles and 55m Dash are completed, we will finish the dash on both the backstretch (4 lanes) and the homestretch (6 lanes).We will create crews of 4-6 timers on either side to keep the meet moving. Teams who do not provide parent timers will need to provide coaches to help. We will have stopwatches however if coaches can help provide some that would be helpful.You can tell parents that they should be at the start area by 5:45 pm, and should be done in less than 1 hour.
