3) Might run 2 sections per gender in 800 depending on the number of entries.
4) Will run fast sections/heats 1st

6) Entry Limitations for each event will depend on how many teams are actually attending... the less teams coming, the more entries allowed. We will update you on this.
7) Each school will be assigned to either run off a field event or be responsible for a relay exchange zone or break line.
8) We plan on running a girls and boys Thrower 4x100 Relay if there is enough interest. It will be run after the 3200 Run and should be a fun preliminary to the 4X400 Relay. Throwers must have participated in either the shot put or discus to be eligible to run the relay
