Meet Information

Entry Information:
o Entry fee is $1 per athlete. This covers the overhead cost for SROs, clean-up, supplies and the data entry worker. Ask each athlete to give you a dollar and put it in an envelope. Turn it in when you pick up your meet packet. If you bring 30 kids, your entry is $30. We try to make it where the kids have some skin in the game. Even our kids pay. If you want to pay with a school check, that is your choice. BUT PLEASE HAVE THIS
o LETS AVOID WRITE-INS!!! It is a polar bear meet, so we want to be flexible, but please try to reduce write-ins. If you have additional athletes, make sure they are in the database of milesplit.
o BRING YOUR YOUNG ATHLETES!!! Its a polar bear meet, not the Olympics. It is a great opportunity for your younger athletes to compete and learn.
Coach Responsibilities:
We require a coach from each school to be at the finish line to assist timing laned events.
o It is each coachs responsibility to have their own stopwatch.
o If a coach or coaches from a school is/are assisting with a field event, or as the starter, etc. they do not have to time events. If a coach finished with their respective field event, any help they can offer at the finish would be appreciated (if needed).
o If a school has athletes in a laned event, but is not assisting with the meet, the meet director reserves the right to disallow his/her team to run those events.
All coaches need to bring measuring tapes, stopwatches, clipboards, etc.

Other Need-to-Know:
The uniform code may be relaxed due to the weather or other issues.
Only athletes warming up or competing will be allowed on the infield. Please remind your athletes of the electronics rule within the field of play.

Admission is only $1.00 for spectators.
Parking: Spectator and coach vehicle parking will be in the back parking lot off Lynn Avenue. Bus parking will be in the bus parking lot of Reid Ross Classical School on Ramsey Street.
Heads up on bib numbers:
o We will use a write-on bib number system where your athletes will use a sharpie/permanent marker and write an assigned bib number on their arm, wrist or somewhere to make finish line recording easier. One thing that really slows meets down is the recording process at the finish line. This expedites that situation. These bib numbers need to be LEGIBLE.
o We will email rosters with bib assignments by Friday morning so you can have your athletes write these NEATLY ahead of time on Saturday. It would be easier to have them on before you get there.
o Permanent marker, please.
