• It is the athlete's responsibility tocheck their heat and lane assignment.They will then find their heat by looking at the numbers on the conesnear the starting line (55H, 55m, 500m and 300m) or on the cones near the northgoal posts (1600, 1000, 3200 and all relays).The marshal will then make sure they are lined up.

• No write-ins!!! We do not have time to write in additionalathletes. To request one costs a fee of$1,000,000.

Heads up on bib numbers:

• We will use a "write-on" bib numbersystem where your athletes will use a sharpie/permanent marker and write anassigned bib number on their arm and or hand to make finish line recordingeasier.One thing that really slowsmeets down is the recording process at the finish line.This expedites that situation.These bib numbers need to be LEGIBLE.Emphasizeneatness to your kids.
• We will email rosters with bibassignments by Friday afternoon so you can have your athletes write these numbers on their armsNEATLY ahead of time on Saturday.It is easier to have them on before youget there.
