Red Mtn Rampage 2026

Field Events:

All field event competitors will need to check out with event judges prior to reporting for any other field event.  They will have 10 minutes after check-out to return to the event.  After that time, the event will continue as scheduled.  Adjustments to jump or throw order may be made by the event judge to accommodate athletes who are competing in more than one event at the same time.

In the field events, there will be a coaches’ box at each site.  Anyone in a coaches’ box MUST be a district approved coach with proper coaching credentials for that event (especially pole vault).  Any non-approved coach will be ejected from the field for the duration of the meet.   All pole-vaulters must have weight certification on file with the Pole Vault Judge before competition.  Weight declaration sheets will be at the pole vault venue to be filled out by a coach before the event begins.  Coaches will only be allowed in the flagged off area and can talk to athletes within that area.

Shot Put and Discus:

The Shot Put and Discus rings are concrete.  Red Mountain High School will provide throwing implements to be used in the Discus and Shot Put competition.  These implements will be kept on a rack and will be available to athletes..  Competitors may use a throwing implement of their own provided they make weigh-in requirements.  The weigh-in station will be directly west of the annex weight room building just south of the shot put rings.

All marks will be measured this year.  There will be no minimum mark. Athletes will be given three non-consecutive throws.  The top 9 throwers will make the finals in the elite session.  Seeded session participants will receive three non-consecutive throws and no finals.
