Declaration and Clerking

We will use the declaration method for clerking most of our events.  This is a two-step process where athletes report with their competitor number to the declaration area (on the scoreboard side of the track) to confirm that they are present and intend to run the event.  After declaring for the event, athletes can warm-up and should listen for announcements.  Anyone not declared for an event when the declaration closes will be scratched and cannot run.  Then, when called to return, athletes will return to the clerking area (also on the scoreboard side of the track) for their section and lane assignments.  Once called to the clerking area, athletes will remain in the area until their races.

Athletes need to be attentive to announcements and the general flow of the meet.  Typically, the declaration for one event will be closing 1-2 events before that event.  Field event athletes may have a parent, coach, or teammate help with the declaration process.  The larger a specific race is, the earlier we will close the declaration process for that 

event.

Concessions will be available on-site.
