Meet Information
Entry Information:
o Entry fee is $2 per athlete. Ask each athlete to give you $2 and put it in an envelope. Turn it in when you pick up your meet packet. If you bring 30 kids, your entry is $60. 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.
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 milesplit database.
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 finishes 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 compete those events.
All coaches need to bring measuring tapes, stopwatches, clipboards, etc.
Other Need-to-Know:
Please speak with your athletes about respecting the bathrooms and facility as a whole. Every year we end up shelling out money to pay for damages to something in the bathroom. This has actually been the second biggest expense to the SROs.
The uniform code may be relaxed due to the weather or other issues.
Results will be posted to NCRunners.com.
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.
Reid Ross Classical School is located at 3200 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301.

Meet Day Need-To-Know Info:
Admission is only $2.00 for spectators. Children five and under are free.
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 numbers 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 to Reid Ross.
o Permanent marker, please.
