We remind all student athletes to stay out of the infield unless they are checking-in for their event, warming up for their event (10 minutes before 1st call) and or participating in their cool down after their event (10 minute period) is complete. Athletes are also able to use hurdles for warm-ups, but are reminded to place this equipment back where it was found.
