The Paducah Tilghman High School Track and Field Complex features an 8-lane track with full field event facilities.

Clerking in for your event:
All clerking for track events will be done on the track in the area designated as Check In. Each coach will be emailed a list of entry numbers for your athletes prior to the meet. We hope this will allow coaches to accurately assign the numbers to their athletes before the meet begins.
The clerk will assign all runners to an appropriate heat and starting position based on the pre meet performance list. Coaches will receive a pre meet performance list prior to the meet.
All field events will report directly to the field event judge at each field event location. The field event judge will assign each field event competitor to an appropriate flight and will announce the order of each flight based on the pre meet performance list.

Format of Throwing Events:
Shot Put and Discus Throw will take place from our brushed concrete circles. Each thrower will get 4 throws cafeteria style with their best throw counting. There will not be finals for throwing events.
Warm-ups will begin at the time indicated and will be supervised by the event official. Any throwing prior to the official warm-up period will be cause for event disqualification. Throwing will not be allowed upon completion of the event.
All athletes are responsible for bringing their own legal implements. We will not provide implements. All implements should meet the weight and measures standards and should be safe to use. Throwing an implement that is altered is grounds for disqualification, even if it occurs during the warm-up period. We will inspect implements before the competition begins.
Format of Jumping Events:
Long Jump and Triple Jump will take place from our twin rubberized runways. Each jumper will get 4 jumps cafeteria style and their best jump will count. We will not have finals for these events.
Warm-ups will begin at the time indicated and will be supervised by the event official. Jumpers may place marks along the outside of the runway to help with their approach run. Jumping will not be allowed upon completion of the event.
Concessions:
Concessions will be available underneath the stadium. Although there are some restaurants close we request for the safety of all of the athletes that teams stay on school grounds until the meet has concluded.
Tents:
We ask that all tents be placed in the grass area along the outside of the track or inside the stadium bleachers.
