• NOTE: If a club is not a registered 2008 club in good standing then all athletes associated with that club will need to transition to another club or compete unattached. If the athlete chooses to compete unattached then they should not wear their club uniform (simple as turning it inside out if necessary)
• Registration: Online registration must be received by midnight February 23. Same day registration = $12 per athlete and not accepted after 7:00 am morning of the meet.

• Relays: An unattached athlete may not compete on a relay team (this is a USATF rule); clubs attending the meet are requested to provide 1-2 officials at the time of the relays to assist with relay exchange zone judging (meet at the finish line prior to the start of the first relay); remind your athletes to pull their tape from the track after they complete a relay exchange
• Seeding: Our best efforts will be made to seed heats so that two athletes from the same club will not be in the same heat. Since this is the first sectional meet of the season seeding times / distances are not necessary when you register
• Last heat of each age group in 100m, 200m and 400m is fast heat. If you have a youth athlete that should be in the fast heat ensure you instruct your athlete to notify the clerk area when they check in
