Fully Automatic Timing: We will have FAT timing with a digital board showing results after
each running event. We will also encourage coaches to serve as back-up timers.
Coaches From Other Schools: We ask ALL Head and Assistant Coaches from each school
participating in this event to volunteer as officials for all field events and assist in the exchange
zones during all relays. We will also ask for volunteers to serve at the start/finish line as back up
timers, including during distance events. Lastly, we will need ALL coaches and athletes to assist
in moving hurdles on and off the track effectively. Your staff will receive an email giving you
an opportunity to sign up for volunteer official duties you prefer to work. Please understand field
event officials will be selected based on when you sign up for duties. Our T&F program will
provide several volunteers or coaches from our staff to also serve.
Limits to Team Entries: 4 individual entries per event per team in all running and throwing
events; 3 entries per event per team in relay, horizontal and vertical jumping events. Unlimited
entries per team for the 800 meter and the 1600 meter run.
Uniforms/Jewelry: Understanding we will more than likely deal with colder temperatures, we
simply ask for your team to wear matching uniforms or athletic attire that represents your school
and includes your school colors. Student athletes are reminded they cannot compete while
wearing jewelry, but watches are are allowed to be worn during events.
Facilities: The Trinity Lions T&F program will be providing concessions at this event.
Bathrooms are located on the first floor of the press box, outside of the fence area. Teams will be
allowed to set up tents outside of the fence, next to the stadium bleachers on both sides, but not
in the infield. We ask for all coaches to please keep your athletes off the infield and away from
the timing system and finish line area during all running events. Of course, once your student
athlete hears their event call, they will be asked to report to the check-in tent located in the
infield area.
Check-in Table: All student athletes competing in field events (jumps & throws) will check in
where their event is located. Any student athlete competing in an individual running event will
first report to the Assistant Clerk who is in charge of the Heat Sheets. This clerk will provide
information to the student athlete that will indicate both the lane and heat the student athlete will
compete in during the meet. Next, this individual will walk over to the Check-in Tent to speak to
the Clerk of Course, reporting the information received from the Assistant Clerk. Only the last
runner (anchor runner) participating on a relay team will be asked to follow the same procedure.
Warm-up Area: Warm-ups are allowed in the infield once a student athlete is properly checked
in for their event. Athletes are also able to use hurdles for warm-ups, but reminded to leave this
equipment where it's located. When the 4x400 meter relay (1600 meter relay) begins, all student
athletes may report to the infield to cheer on their team, once they do not interfere with the
timing system and or the event.
Meet Announcer: We will provide a meet announcer for this event. There will be important
announcements before, during, and at the end of the meet.
Heats/Trials: This will be an all finals event as we will not host prelims. The field events will
include 3 attempts only. Based on the amount of athletes participating officials may only
measure the first throw and the horizontal jump attempted for each participant. After this takes
place officials would measure the top 8 distances/marks. We will start the High Jump at the
lowest height depending on the minimum entry for the student athlete competing in the Middle
School divisions. The Varsity Girls High Jump minimum height will start at 4'2 and the Varsity
Boys High Jump minimum height will start at 5'0.
Scoring: The top eight places will be scored at this event: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Results: We plan to announce the top 8 results as soon as they are completed. We also plan to
post results on the lower part of the press-box.

event(s), please indicate these details ahead of time as there is a strong chance they will run in a
