Welcome to the Bulldog Classic. Our facility houses an 8 lane 14mm Strobitan Sandwich System surface, so we expect some fast races.
We will have a hospitality room with dinner for coaches and officials. If everyone would be willing to tag team running a field event, that would be greatly appreciated.

The amount of time allotted for warm-ups for the field events will be determined by the officials running the event and is dependent on the number of athletes competing in each event.

event, and relay team members.

Declaration Rule: Scratching a participant from an event does not affect any remaining events that the athlete
may be entered in. However, once a participant is declared in the maximum number of track events (3 or 2 if in the 3200), coaches may not scratch them from an individual event and then enter them into a relay.
