COMPETITION REMINDERS

• *For 2026, the indoor meet will use an electronic, gunless device. 
• Athletes are only permitted to wear pyramid spikes with a max length of 1/4”. Spikes will be checked by the clerk.
• Coaches should prepare athletes to communicate with meet personnel and check-in/check-out of each event. Athletes should arrive at the clerk for running events no later than 15 minutes before the event.
• The games committee has determined that athletes who check out to compete in a running event have 8 minutes from the completion of that event to return to check-in. 
• Coaches, it is also very important that you speak with your athletes about the schedule before the meet, particularly those competing in multiple field events or a combination of field and running events. A printed time schedule will be available in the team packets. 
• Athletes and coaches must know the appropriate rules regarding check-in (and out) and MUST COMMUNICATE continually with meet officials (particularly the head judge for each event) to ensure a smooth transition, if necessary, to report to another event.
• The games committee has determined appropriate time limits for competitors excused to compete in another event, but it is the athlete’s responsibility to adhere to check-in requirements. Athletes must check back in with the head judge upon return to the event. This is very important, so please discuss this procedure with your athletes.

LIMITATIONS OF THE FACILITY 

• Be sure athletes are aware that only what fits in their spike bag will be permitted in the clerking area, on the track, and in the field events areas. 
• Athletes are only permitted to have water on the track surface.
• For the team areas (mezzanine & backstretch bleachers), athletes must carry their own water and/or snacks individually into the facility. No bulk deliveries or team food orders will be permitted to enter the facility.
