Jewelry and uniform, as well as electronic devices in competition areas, rules will be expected to be enforced. Please prepare your athletes.
Miscellaneous:
A reminder 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. Again, no substitutions are permitted. Violations of these rules will result in disqualification from the event and the rest of the meet
Participants must report to the bullpen (in the middle of the field) by second call. Absence for the 3rd call will result in a scratch for that event. Only athletes in the bullpen are permitted on the infield. All other coaches, athletes, and spectators must remain in the stands.
Awards:Medals will be awarded to the Top 3 athletes in each individual event. Medals will also be given to the top 3 relays. Team Championship Trophies will be presented as well!
T-Shirts:Shirts will be made on site. Inform your athletes so they can buy theirs while supplies last. T-shirts will be sold by the Ram Athletic Association and sold out of our lower concession stand.
Concessions: The concessions stand will be open throughout the day and will serve a variety of food and drink items. Coaches will be given meal tickets to be used at the SHS Concession Stand.
Athletic Trainer: Will be located outside the fenced area by the finish line.
Limited Shade: Team Tents need to be up against the outside edges of the fence
CELL PHONES: Many of you have cell phones or pagers. The ringing of all cell phones/pagers can be very distracting for our competing athletes, particularly if it rings at the start of a race, approach or spin in the circle. It is a violation of NFHS rules for an athlete to be speaking on a phone in the competition area. An athlete may be disqualified for this violation. Meet management requests that you change the ring to silent or vibrate so that potential problems or distractions will not inhibit the performance of our meet participants.
