Additional Information:
Unlimited entries per team per event (let's be reasonable) and two relay entries per team. 1/4" spikes max. There will be random spike checks. Any athlete wearing longer than 1/4" spikes may be disqualified. We will use two pre-certified throws implements for each event. You can warm up with your own implement.

Spectator Information:
If you like, bring a chair or a blanket and get a front row view of the track action. Please park in the parking deck via the Trinity School access road and walk through the school to the track.

Scoring:
Four athletes score (5,3,2,1 points) in running and field events.
Relays are scored top two places (5 & 3 points)
Only two athletes from the City team and two from the County team can score. For instance if City (North & Carver) only had one entry (Judy from North), the County team could not pick up a point for fourth. Only three places would be scored in this case. This helps spread out the scoring. Only two athletes from City and two from County can score in an event. So, if County goes 1-2-3-4 in an event and City goes 5th and 6th, City still gets points for third and fourth, since there can only be two scorers from each combined team.
