Scratches: We have already moved back the entry deadline in order for coaches and athletes to enter times from the preceding weekend. If an athlete scratches from a running event after the Wednesday scratch deadline, that runner may not be added to another event, including relays. No substitutions after the Wednesday entry deadline!

Parking: All buses and vehicles park in the main parking lot. Due to JWHS construction, you will need to have buses use the back entrance. Pass the school on the left (up on hill) and continue on Apple Pie Ridge past the baseball field, church, and tennis courts on your right. Make the left turn immediately after the tennis courts and drop off at the football stadium main gate. Buses will be directed to their parking area (TBA).

Entry Fee: $6.00 for spectators for an all-day pass. There are no cash sales. Tickets will be available for purchase on Go Fan using a mobile device, or you can use debit/credit at the gate.

Lunch: Coaches and meet workers will be served lunch in the field house cardio room at approximately 12:00.

Coaches Meeting: Scratches only. A field competitor may scratch without penalty. A running competitor may scratch from an event on the day of the meet and still be eligible to compete in other events for which he/she was registered; however, they cannot be entered into other individual events or relays. Again, no substitutions are permitted. Violations of these rules will result in disqualification from the event and the rest of the meet.
