Preliminary throws may count as a final mark.

Scoring/Awards: We will score six places: 10-8-6-4-2-1. First, second and third place will receive medals, and fourth, fifth and sixth places will receive ribbons.
Team Camps: Team camps should be made outside the fence encircling the track. The only time any athlete needs to be on the infield is when they are competing. Inside the track is a restricted area for running events. The only time any coach needs to be on the infield is when they are serving in an official capacity (exchange zone judge, event official). Once the field events are finished, the infield should be void of athletes and coaches. Coaches, please help with this. You can get plenty close to your athletes on the track by standing outside the fence, all the way around the track.
Bullpen: The bullpen area is located at the west end of the straightaway, near the finish line. All athletes need to check in at the bullpen for all running events.
Order of The order of the running events is listed below.

Workers: Coaches will be assigned to judge the relay exchanges. I ask for one more helper for a field event.
Scratches: Please come to the pressbox as soon as you arrive at the meet to get your packet, and make scratches. There will be no substitutions in individual events without the proper paperwork from a doctor or principal.
