address any questions to your coach to avoid any
possibility of exceeding the maximum allowable
number of events.
Running vs Field Events
Running events take precedence over field
events. First check in at your field event.
After the 2nd call for a running
event, check out with the field event judge and
proceed to the staging area to check in for your
running event. Return to the field event within
5 minutes of completing your race or you will
not be allowed to complete the event.
THINGS TO BRING TO A TRACK MEET
Water (lots of it)
Snacks (healthy ones) fruits, veggies,
sandwiches, power bars, health bars, etc.
Sunscreen
Umbrella/canopy
Complete uniform
Games
Sweats/warm-up outfit
PowerAde/Gatorade (if desired)
Running Shoes/Spikes
THINGS TO DO AT A TRACK MEET
The first thing on arrival is to have your
child find his or her age group coach. Check in
with them to get the event tags they will be
doing at that meet. Make sure they have their
sweats on, it will be cool when they arrive.
Your child will need to be aware, at all
times, of where his or her coaches are. Keep
track of what event is being called ("First
call, all Gremlin Girls 200 meters, Last call,
all Midget Boys 1500 meters", etc). It is
impossible for the coaches to know where thirty
or forty athletes are.
Athletes must warm up before each event. Have
them check with their coach on when they should
report in for warm ups with their group.
As the day warms up, keep your athlete OUT
OF THE SUN. Use lots of sunscreen, and have
them drink plenty of water and drinks like
Gatorade/Powerade. NO SODA!!. Soda
depletes the body of fluids. Keep them relaxed
and from running around. This is a good time to
have them play cards or board games with a
friend.
