The meet will be run under the N.Y.S.P.H.S.A.A. rules.
Notice regarding the shot put, discus, steeplechase, 3200/3000 meter runs, and 4x100 throwers relay. Submit up to maximum allowed based on meet enrollment. However, because of time and facility limitations, the following will occur to facilitate meet management:
Shot put and discus: Flights will run from most to least competitive. We will assess the level of competition. If all throwers are highly competitive, we will reduce the number to 32 to allow throwers four attempts. If a large number of throwers are mid to low level, we will take the top 40 seeded throwers and seeding them in 4 flights of 10. Each thrower in the first two flights will receive four throws (no finals). Less competitive flights will have three, UNLESS TIME IS A FACTOR. If this is the case, throwers in the last flights may get only two throws. In doing so, we should be able to get both the girls and boys events completed within the daylight limitations.
Pole Vault: As stated above for throwing events, we will make a judgment based on quality of jumpers and total number of entries.
Steeplechase and 3200/3000 meter runs: We will limit entries to create one heat of each with a manageable number of runners (we have traditionally capped at 24). Runners with the best seed times will be selected.
Long and Triple Jump: We may have to run the long and triple jumps in flights this year as construction might eliminate the use of our outside jumping pit. If we do, we will set it up as we did for the throwers, with top seed going first and getting more attempts. Construction may also force us to limit the number of entrants, especially in the long jump.
4x100 Throwers Relay: This is a new event, providing an opportunity for your throwers who may have limited throws in competition to have something more to look forward to. As such, please make every effort to include your third and fourth place throwers, not just your best. If you are short on throwers, you may include JV athletes like horizontal jumpers who may also have limited attempts. Yes, the kids can make it competitive as they will earn awards, but we also want it to be fun.
