West Wilkes Middle School Track Meet Information (MEET AT WWHS NOT WWMS)
8th Grade Night: This meet will be the WWMS 8th grade night. After the 800m dash all 8th graders will be recognized and given a gift. After all the names are called the meet will immediately continue. Pictures can be taken after the meet gets running again.
Throwers Relay: My throwers have been begging me all season for the possibility of running the 100m dash in a meet. I have decided that we would like to do a throwers 4x100m relay. In addition, we are opening up the 100m to five total athletes instead of four if you have any extra athletes you would like to run. This relay event will not be scored as for the winner of the meet, it is just for fun. If no other teams provide a relay team then the relay will be run with just West runners. We will try to combine the boys and girls if possible.
Athlete Entry Deadline: ALL ATHLETE ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 4/28 AT 8:00 AM. This is a strict deadline with no exceptions. Coaches are responsible for ensuring all entries are complete and accurate.
BRAC Conference Entry Limits for Regular Season Meets: Sprint and Field Events: Maximum of 4 entries per team per event. With this being the last meet before Conference we have decided to up the maximum entries in the 100m to 5. Distance Events (800m & 1600m): Unlimited entries allowed. Note on Distance Events: Although unlimited entries are permitted in the 800m and 1600m, athletes are expected to compete at a reasonable competitive level. These meets are designed to showcase the best athletes in each event.

Spectator Information: Admission is $5 per person. This fee directly supports the West Wilkes track program. Please remind parents and guests to use the designated entrance. Spectators must remain outside the track area at all times.
Athlete Expectations: Team tents must be placed on the home bleachers at least halfway up the stands. Our middle school conference follows NCHSAA High School Track and Field rules. Athletes must: Remain in their designated team area unless actively warming up or competing, Return promptly to their team area after completing their event, Stay out of the infield and inside the track except when officially competing or warming up. Gathering, cheering, or standing inside the track is prohibited.
Coaches: If you need to speak with your athletes and you are not actively helping with the timing of the meet, please do not gather in the infield with your teams. We have designated team areas for a reason. This is a safety issue. West Highs team will be assisting in field and track events.
Important: Willful failure to follow directions from meet officials (including leaving the infield when instructed) will result in disqualification per NFHS Rule 4-6, Article 2. This rule is strictly enforced.
