Parking

TEAM PARKING - We have room for about 10 buses immediately adjacent to the track. All other buses will be directed to park at the old Camp Laboratory School. To get to the Camp Lab parking area, you will drop off at the track then exit back out of the track parking area, turn right, proceed straight through the traffic circle and turn right across the first bridge on your right. There will be a lot immediately on your right after you cross the bridge.

SPECTATOR PARKING - There will be limited parking available adjacent to the track on a first come/first serve basis. When those lots are full, parking will be available in the Ramsey Center parking area.

Admission

Admission will be $5. The spectator entrance is adjacent to the bleachers. NO SPECTATORS WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE THE COMPETITORS AREA. All spectators must remain outside of the black fence.

Spike Check

WCU has a mondo surface. You must have your spikes checked prior to your running/jumping event. Only Inch pyramid spikes are permissible. 

Athlete Check-in

All running event competitors must check in at the clerks tent in time to get your hip number and be at the start line in time for your heat. We will not hold a heat to wait on you. Field event athletes will check in at their event. The 10-minute check-in /check-out rule will be in effect.Tell your athletes to check out with the field event judge and return within fifteen (15) minutes maximum. (Five minutes prior to the heat of their event, 10 minutes following the conclusion of their heat.) If an athlete is in a field event and gets a first call for a running event, they should check out of their field event and check-in at the Clerks Table to receive their hip number and then return to the field event. Athletes may go out of turn if necessary. It is the responsibility of the coach and the athlete to report to the starting line on time for their running event and return to their field event on time.

Team Tents

All team tents must be set up outside of the black fencing surrounding the track.

Athlete Warm-up Area

There is an athletic field at the far end of the track from the track entrance. This area may be used for warm-ups and team tent set-up. There will be no warm-ups permitted on the infield. The infield must remain clear at all times, except for those athletes competing in field events.

Concessions

There will be concessions available.
