RELAY DECLARATION: Relay teams will be officially declared on a relay declaration card when the team reports to the clerk of course for check-in. At that time a maximum of six athletes from your entry list may be listed, any four of which may run. The relay will count as an event for only those athletes who actually run the relay.

All entries remaining after this declaration deadline will be considered as declared and will count against their VHSL event limit, whether they compete in the event or not. If a coach inadvertently declares an athlete in more events than allowed, meet management will scratch those athletes from all events over the allowed limit, beginning with the last event on the time schedule and working backward until the maximum legal limit is reached.
