Garden State HS Invite- 2025 Final Instructions Email 

**Sent February 13, 2025**

Hello coaches,

Here are your final instructions:

1- Meet start.  The meet starts at 1:30pm. Doors open at 12:30pm. Here is the final meet schedule with field event instructions.
2- Bibs & Posters.  Upon arrival, pick up your personalized bibs and "Road to States" posters at the awards table.  This will be across from the snack bar in the hallway.  For athletes/teams that missed the deadline, we will have blank bibs for them to write their last name.
3- Payment.  This table is also where you submit payment (checks to "Garden State Track Club") if you haven't already submitted it.
4- Apparel.  There will also be meet apparel (hoodies, shirts, etc) sold in that same area as well.
5- Warm ups. This will be allowed on the track until 1:15 and downstairs the entire meet.
6- Check-in.  In the field events, please check-in at the event.  For the running events, please check-in at the paddock area next to the shot put cages when your event is called. You must enter this area from the downstairs warm-up area. This is a big meet and we run a tight ship.  Please be sure athletes are in the right places at the right times.


7- Awards.  Shortly after the conclusion of every event, the top 6 athletes and top 3 relays (top 5 in 4x400) may pick up their medals at the medal table.  Also, the winning relay in each relay wins four meet batons.
8- Blocks.  As per the meet schedule Google Doc, blocks will be allowed in the Invite 55m trials (top 24 seeds), 55m Invite Final, and 55 hurdle final.
9- Scratches.  Please report scratches during check-in process.
10- Admission: $5 adults/youth spectators. Cash or Venmo accepted.
11- Meet pictures and videos.  This will be posted on NJ Milesplit within 48 hours of the event at no cost.
12- Heat sheets and performance list. We will post these on Milesplit once we get them from the timers later today. 
Looking forward to seeing you all, and looking forward to a great meet!
