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. All student athletes in competing in field events will check in where their event is located. 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 are reminded to place this equipment back where it was found. 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.

Based on the amount of athletes participating officials may only measure the first throw and 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 for both Middle School and Varsity. Middle School (girls and boys) will jump together followed by Varsity (girls and boys).
