Some basic information regarding entries:

MEET INFORMATION
Participation in events:
** To compete in a running event, an athlete must report to the starting area of that event by the check-in deadline, get checked in, and will then be assigned to a heat.
** To compete in long jump, an athlete must report to the event by the check-in deadline, get checked in, and will then need to complete their (maximum of) 3 jumps within the allotted time frame which we will provide at the Coaches Meeting.
DIVISIONS: boys and girls will be broken down by grade into 3 divisions: K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. We will do our best to group athletes in each respective individual event, but the final results will have athletes specifically included in their correct division.
AWARDS: we will give ribbons to the top 10 finishers per division in each individual event. There are no team awards.
ADMISSION:
Adult spectators and nonparticipants: $6
Seniors: $3
Students: $3
Children 12 and under: free
CONCESSIONS: the concessions stand will be open and we would appreciate your patronage during the meet.
Meet Location: the Assumption HS track facility, the "Assumption Green", is located at 4500 Champions Trace Ln, at the corner of Champions Track and Newburg Rd just south of the I-264. Contact Coach Haworth if you need directions to the facility.
Coaches, please share the following information with your parents and athletes:
** Facility doors will be open at 5:00pm. Athletes will not be allowed on the track until 5:15pm, and should stay off the turf until 5:30pm unless instructed otherwise by meet management. This is to ensure that the high school teams who may be practicing will have sufficient time to conclude their practice without creating a safety concern.
** Restricted areas (athletes, parents, spectators and coaches must stay out of these areas - they will be marked):
(1) Pole vault pits, long jump pits and high jump pits are restricted areas.
(2) The finish line area is a restricted area.
(3) The timers camera area is a restricted area.
It is very important that coaches assist us in keeping their athletes, parents and spectators out of our restricted areas. The continuation of this meet will be conditional upon people abiding by this request. I.e., if people continue to enter restricted areas, then at some point we will stop the meet.
Competitor numbers: each athlete will be assigned a unique competitor number. Athletes cannot compete without a number and athletes may not wear someone elses number. These are standard rules in track and field, and we believe its important for our younger athletes and newer coaches to understand the importance of these rules. Athletes who wear someone elses number will be disqualified (i.e. no award and dropped from results). We will provide competitor numbers and instructions on how we will use the competitor numbers as soon as possible.
Mandatory Coaches Meeting: we will host a brief coaches meeting prior to the running of our first event (our plan is to meet at 5:45pm near the finish line).
