Weigh-in and Implement Inspection
Pole-vaulters can weigh in between 8:30 and 9:30 am in the shed. Throwers can weigh their implements at that time as well in the shed.
Athlete Check-in until 1:15 pm
We will have open check-in throughout the meet for running events. All athletes must check in prior to 2nd call for their event. Each competitor should report to the clerking (yellow) tent. For field events, the competitor must report to the field judge in charge of the event where that event is contested. Track events take precedence over field events. However, you must report to the field judge first and request permission to be excused. If an athlete is not checked in and ready to move to the track by the final call, he/she will be scratched.
Athletes should be at their events starting area by the 3rd call. It is their responsibility to be mindful of the time schedule and report at the correct time. The only exception to this is the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, which will meet in the center of the field before runners will report directly to the their zones.
NOTE: NFHS uniform rules apply, so athletes should be able to show they are in compliance at check-in.
Field Access
Athlete access to the field is strictly limited those who are preparing for an event, or athletes who have just completed an event and are exiting the field. Athletes can get onto the field once 2nd call for their event has been announced, and must have a uniform on and hip number in their possession. Anyone else on the field must be an official. The field is considered competition area, so no electronic devices are permitted. Athletes should leave their personal belongings at their Team Tent.
NOTE: All athletes (field or track) must enter and exit near the Track Check-In Area.
Track Warm-up Access
The track is open for warming up until 9:45.
Team Tents
Team tents may only be set up along the curve nearest the scoreboard or on the visitor side of the complex either in or around the visitors side bleachers. Tents in the visitor bleachers must be in the top rows. No team tents in home bleachers or inside the fence surrounding the track.
Time Schedule
The order of events is listed with the meet and start times. A lunch break of approximately 20 minutes will be taken between the Unified 100m Dash and timed finals. We will try and follow the time schedule as it is listed, but we reserve the right to adjust to a rolling schedule if weather conditions force us to do so.
Athletic Trainer Assistance
Green Hope Athletic Trainers will be stationed in the middle of the field.
Format for Distance Events
The 4x800 and 800 will be run as a one-turn stagger, with athletes breaking past the break line on the backstretch. The 4x400 will be run on a three-turn stagger, the first runner will run entirely in their lane and the second runner will break at the break line. The 1600 and 3200 will use a waterfall start, unless the number of athletes necessitates a two-alley start.
Performance Limits
Starting heights in HJ & PV are being determined by games committee and will be posted soon.
Results
Throughout the meet, we will post results on the front of the home stands near the start/finish line. Complete results will be available on NCRunners (nc.milesplit.com) after the meet.
