All club youth athletes must be a USATF member before they can compete

meet. Unattached athletes do not need to be a USATF member.
USATF membership applications will be available- NOTE:
If a club is not a registered 2009 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 March 31st
200. Same day registration = $12 per athlete and not accepted after
7:00 am morning of the meet. Check the SSTC website (www.eteamz.com/StocktonSaints) to confirm unattached and club entries have
been received. Use Club Manager to submit entries via Alicia at [email protected] .- NOTE:

- NOTE:
- 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 a sectional
meet 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
- Last heat of each age group
- Volunteers:
SSTC will be providing all volunteers to run this meet. We want coaches
and parents to be able to focus on coaching & cheering everyone
as they compete; however, if you see an area that is struggling bring
it to the attention of the meet director or jump in and help - Access to infield:
No coaches or parents on infield except coaches clearly displaying 2009
PA/USATF membership ID cards and assisting Sub-Bantam and Bantam long
jumpers setting marks. Coaches must leave when the event begins - Questions:
Contact Alicia Kirton-Loung @ [email protected] or (209) 922-4503 - Dogs:
