Additional Guidelines:
Infield access will be limited to athletes currently competing and athletes warming-up for soon to be contested events. No spectators will be granted infield access. Coaches will be granted infield access and will be restricted to the coaches box provided for each event.
Contestant numbers will be assigned and must be worn on the front of each athlete.
Hip numbers will be provided at the clerking area for each track event, and must be worn for timing purposes.
All timing will be FAT with times recorded to the hundredths of a second.
The 100m, 100m hurdles, and 110m hurdles will be run in trial heats with the eight (8) fastest times advancing to the finals. All other races (including the 200m) will be run as finals with a seeded section running last. Places will be based on time.
Competitors in the long jump, triple jump, shot put, javelin, and discus will be given three (3) attempts in flights with the best nine (9) performers advancing to the finals for three (3) additional attempts. Trial flights will be arranged so the best performers will compete last.

Pole vault verification forms must be submitted and poles inspected prior to the event.
