No check-ins will be allowed after the start of the event. Use the southwest fence gate to enter and exit the track infield.
Track Event Check-In

Substitutions
Substitutions are allowed for running events check-in with the bullpen. Substitutions are allowed in the jumping and throwing pits. Please note: the athlete they are subbing for will remain on the results. We will not be re-seeding to correct substitutions in the jumping/throwing pits. In the event of a meet record or state record, please notify me and we will correct the results before publishing the final results.
Additions
No additions are allowed at all! PERIOD!!
Track Event Heats

Entry Fees
If you have failed to pay your team’s entry fees on time, we certainly understand the mishaps and delays that can occur. We make a poor collection agency, however, and expect delinquent fees to be investigated and taken care of promptly by you, the coach. Your team’s future participation in this meet depends on it.
