Registration begins April 10 at 7pm and ends April 18 at 10pm. NO changes may be made on race day; only scratches.
NOTE TO VOLUNTEERS: Yes, we are Christian schools, and we pursue excellence, per Christ. This mean we call fouls in field events. Not calling fouls does not provide our athletes with the appropriate expectations for being an athlete nor does it result in accurate results for placing. If you cannot do this as a volunteer, we ask you do not volunteer.
Due to the way Hopatcong's field is set up, Javelin is thrown on the football field. As such, we will be doing javelin first and then going to the running events. This is to avoid potential injury. Hurdles should be set up prior to javelin so that we can start running as soon as javelin is finished.
Ribbons for top 6 athletes
Each athlete may compete in up to 4 individual events, but may compete in a 5th event if that event is a relay.
Each school may enter up to 3 athletes per event. However, you may enter a fourth or fifth athlete, and assign them as a "B" athlete or relay. A "B" athlete/relay-team cannot place even if they beat out an "A" athlete/relay-team. The 4 event limit still applies. This is per division and per gender.
Javelins must be rubber tipped per NJ law.
100 meter Top 6 advance to Finals.
To score in high jump, an athlete must complete a successful jump.
FIELD EVENTS (NOTE: we will pick several throwing implements that all throwers will need to use. This is to ensure accuracy in weight per division).
