NO athlete may compete in Varsity Events and run on a Novice Relay, and vice versa! Penalty - Disqualification of the athlete from their Varsity Events and Disqualification of the Novice Relay team that the athlete competed on. The purpose of the Novice Events is two fold. First we are attempting to give those who would not otherwise compete in this meet an opportunity to run at a quality venue. The other purpose is to give the varsity athletes a "spacer"to gain rest time in-between events.

Performance sheets will be available at the meet and those not competing must be scratched before the events are called for by the clerks for final seeding.This is the same procedure that has been used in recent years in winter and spring.
Field events: There will be no cards. Your athletes will need to report to the venues when called.
Finally, coaches will not be able to make changes to their roster, to their eight relay running event names, or to their five field event relay names after January 16th.
