REPORT CALL AND STAGING AREA

Contestants will report to the Staging Area when the Staging Area announcer gives the report call. A call will be given at least 15 minutes before each event. At this time contestants will be given their hip lane numbers, open lanes will be filled in and instructions given by the Clerk of the Course. The starters will give no instructions. If a contestant fails to report at, or by, the last call they will be disqualified from that race. It is the coach’s responsibility to have their athletes in the staging area at the proper times. The Staging Area is the old tennis court located in the northwest corner of the facility, under the tents. It is the athlete’s responsibility to check into the bullpen at the appropriate time. Once checked in the athlete needs to stay in the bullpen. 

FIELD EVENTS

FIELD EVENTS

All field event competitors will need to check out with event judges prior to reporting for a running event. Athletes competing in a relay can report to the track. Keep in mind, it is the team's responsibility to follow all NFHS rules, such as matching uniforms, etc. In the pole vault, there will be a coach’s box on the infield. All vaulters will need to have a pole vault verification form. Coaches will only be allowed in the roped-off area and can talk to athletes at that spot.

Due to the new turf field only high jump will be contested on the main field. The shot put is now located behind the west bleachers. Long Jump and Pole Vault are located in the new jump venue located west of the bull pen.

SHOT PUT AND DISCUS

Discus is located southeast of the stadium and south of the swimming pool in the practice fields.

Shot put and discus rings are concrete. All implements will need to be weighed at the finish line tent. Any implement not making legal weight or not passing inspection will be impounded for the duration of the meet. These implements will be tagged and will need to be collected after the day’s competition is over.

POLE VAULT, HIGH JUMP, LONG JUMP AND TRIPLE JUMP

The runways for long jump, triple jump, pole vault and high jump area are of all-weather surface, therefore all jumping events will require soft-soled shoes or track shoes with 1/4-inch spike or less.
