SUNSCREEN-cover exposed skin completely prior to putting on your uniform

HAT -cannot be worn when competing

GAMES AND BOOKS-cards, travel games, books

SWEATS/WARM-UP-OUTFIT/ RUNNING SHOES

Things to do at the track meet:

1. Upon arrival, check in at the tables or with your age group coach.

2. Event tags are worn on the jersey for all events.

      No one can compete without an official event tag with a competitor number unless 

      running only on relay team..

3. Students need to know where their coaches and meeting places are. Athletes are responsible for themselves and for checking in with their coach upon hearing FIRST CALL for their event. With a team of over 80 athletes, it is impossible for coaches to locate each child prior to his or her event. It is VITAL that every athlete listens for calls because events WILL NOT be delayed  in an effort to locate you. Make sure you also check the schedule and know your approximate event time.

4. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day!!! A little at a time.

      NO SODA as this only depletes the body of fluids resulting in cramps. 

5. Keep stands clean and pick up after yourselves before leaving.

6. STAY OUT OF THE SUN, RELAX, AND HAVE FUN!

THE INFIELD IS OFF LIMITS FOR ALL NON-COMPETING ATHLETES, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Meeting Places:

STADIUM STANDS-  We will have a section on the stands with adult supervision.

 If you would like to be a volunteer at the track and field meet please inform our coaches
