• When a child is not competing, or at the award stand, he/she should be seated in the bleacher section, except when warming up or visiting the refreshment stand.  All warm ups will be in the designated bull pen area. There will be no practicing allowed on the track. Coaches will be responsible for participants arriving on time to their respective events. Pay attention to first, second and last calls for all events. The meet will not be delayed for late arriving participants.
