PLEASE READ THE MEET POLICIES:

Meet Officials will be wearing green shirts to identify them as officials. If you have any questions these are the people to ask.

Race times listed are approximate. Should the meet get as much as 20 minutes ahead of schedule, events will proceed, so allow for this possibility in the arrival and warm-up. Should the meet fall behind, athletes should keep track of the event being contested and listen for announcements concerning the starting time for their events.

ALL competitors in running events must check in with the clerk-of-course within five minutes of the announcer's call. The announcer will make two calls - a first call and a final call. Runners who have not checked in with the clerk for their heat assignment will not be permitted to run.

To best meet the needs of all involved, we ask that each competitor participate in only one heat of each event.

Warm-ups should not be conducted on the track while races are in progress.

Children under 7 may not participate in races longer than 800 meters.

Parents and coaches :  For the safety of the children, please make sure they are supervised at all times.
