Hello Guys - Few Updates. (Sunday, Dec. 1st, 2019 at 12:58AM)

1. It looks like we are going to have perfect weather for the meet - 43 and sunny.

2. Field Events will start at 9:30AM. Running events at 10:30AM.

3. Depending on then number of entries, we might do flight and try to keep them to 30 minutes each for Long jump, Triple Jump and shot put. There will be 5 minutes between flights and 30 minutes between event once we do the switch. If, the boys Triple/High Jump is over - tell the girls/boys to go check in. If, all of them are there - we will try and start early.

Triple jump is usually less - we might move some of the other gender to the triple jump pit.

4. Three jumps and three throws.

5. Please have the athlete pay attention to the event on the track and start checking early. Please have them look at the table with the entries before going for their hip numbers. Tell the clerk their heat and lane - it will make the process quicker.

6. For the substitution - just make the switch and give it to us, I will make sure the names are changed before the results are posted. I want to print the program so the parents and clerks can keep up.

7. Depending on the number of Entries - we will decide how many flights for 3200m per gender - coaches I will need you to help count laps.

8. The winner of event including relays will receive a trophy. Results will be posted by concession and awards will be in the ticket booth.

9. We can always use help especially in the field event - so feel free to offer. Let's do our best to keep the kids when they are not running out of the infield. The backfield should be open for warm-ups. There are few portable toilets by the track but Door #5 should be open. Please don't ask the kids not be hanging out in the lobby - they are about 5 events going at Marshall include a basketball event. If the kids are hanging out - we will ask them to go outside. Please set your tents up on the upper part of the stands. so, we not blocking the finish line.

10. Blocks - all hurdlers, first 4 sections 55m dash, 300m dash (in lanes). 4x200m will be waterfalls, one section of the 4x800m each gender, 2 sections of the 4x4.

11. I will have your packet with a copy of the meet program ticket booth - if you have a payment - please give it to the ticket takers.

12. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions.

Thanks for coming guys.

Sincerely,

Clifford Wong
