Parents/spectators are required to stay in designated spectator areas. Only athletes who are competing should be on the field during the meet to avoid a large influx of athletes entering/exiting the track during races. Athletes are required to enter the track in designated areas only, jumping the fences to enter from other areas can result in disqualification for that athlete.No chewing gum is permitted on the field during competition, and spikes should not be worn into the bathrooms.

Please let your long/triple jumpers know we use fiberglass boards that can be slick (especially if there is any rain) and they may want to jump in trainers. We may also request assistance with exchange zones, and some field events.
