The clerk will be checking spike length just before the races. If your athlete is in violation of this rule, he/she will not be allowed to participate.
3. All athletes in running events or relay teams should check in at the clerk’s table to receive a hip number. The clerk’s table is located by the scorers table, near the finish line.
4. Events will be conducted as heats against time. Please be honest with your times!
5. If there are large amounts of heats in the 200m dash, your athletes in that event will be expected to re-declare 30 minutes prior to the event. A sheet will be at the scorer’s table to scratch them.
6. Heats will be run slow to fast.
7. Heat and lane assignments will be determined before the meet begins. If we see we have scratches, we may redraw certain events.
