Coaches,
Welcome to the Tiger Relays! We hope you enjoy this fun-oriented meet. We started this meet several years ago in an effort to create an early season event where top athletes could compete with one another, but younger, inexperienced kids could get a taste of that invitational atmosphere. It also provides coaches with an opportunity to teach. Feel free to walk on the infield and encourage and teach your kids. Do not show them video, pictures, or in any way interfere or violate any rules. But use this meet for what it is designed to do: teach kids to enjoy and learn the meet process and compete in front a crowd.

Please make sure you read the following information. If you have any questions, please see me or any South View staff.

Thanks,
Jesse

Spectator Parking: Spectator and coaches vehicles will be allowed to park in the back parking lot off Lynn Street. If you are parking there, turn right onto Lynn Ave. off of Ramsey Street (if coming from the south). Lynn Ave. is on the same side of Ramsey Street that Reid Ross Classical School is on. Go about a half mile down. Turn left when you see a small dirt road entrance to the track and athletic fields of Tokay Park/Reid Ross Classical School. Overflow parking will be sent to the Reid Ross Classical lots. The SVHS ROTC will be helping with parking.

Bus Parking: Buses will park in the bus parking lot beside Reid Ross. The SVHS ROTC will be helping with parking.

Concessions: Available all day long.

Admission: Spectators will have to pay admission of $3 for adults and $2 for children. Children five and under are free.

No Coaches Meeting: We will not have a coaches meeting. If you have scratches, see below.

Pay-To-Play: Please bring your meet payment with you. If you do not pay, you cannot compete. This is absolute. Please do not argue with the nice ladies at the table. Find me.

Athletic Trainer: We will have a trainer on-site (map included in packet on day of race day). The trainer is there for injuries. He and his staff will have ice, bags, first aid kit, etc. He is not there to tape athletes prior to events. All teams need to bring their own coolers to make sure we keep all the kids hydrated throughout the day.

Awards: Athletes will pick up their medals at a tent near the check-in tent. It is the responsibility of the athlete to claim their award. We will not mail any that are not picked up. We have trophies for the top three teams. These will be presented at the conclusion of the meet.

Meet Officials from Other Schools: We have already waived your teams entry, but you will get a ticket to get a free slice of pizza and drink at some point during the meet. We will discuss this and hand-out the tickets at The Meet Officials Meeting at 8:30AM at the finish tent. If you are assisting with the meet, please be on time for this meeting.

Scratches: If you know of any before 6PM Friday, please email those to coachjesseautry@yahoo.com. If we can condense some these heats, it will expedite things.

No Add-Ins: You may not add an athlete to an individual event. You are free to move athletes in the relays all you want, as long as you respect the athlete limit of four events. FRIENDS DONT ASK FRIENDS TO DO WRITE-INS. JUST SAY NO TO WRITE-INS REALLY. DONT DO IT.

Throw Relays: These events must be contested by athletes who THREW IN THIS MEET. We have had a problem with this in the past. Please demonstrate integrity in this. The kids will know if their coach is lying and asking them to do the same.

Spikes: Quarter inch pyramid spikes only on track and jump areas.

Results: Available online at ncrunners.com. I will also email as an attachment.

Organizational Details:
There are no preliminaries. All events are finals.
There will be four attempts in field events. The first attempt will be measured. After that, a standard must be met
for measurement. These marks are on the next page.
