• Point system will be similar to the zone meet 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for all events.  1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th ,and, 5th place will receive ribbons for each event.  Aggregate medals will be given in each category for the top athlete that collects the most points.  Relay team points will not be tabulated in the aggregate point total.

• At the conclusion of each event, the top two competitors are required to report to the track shed.  The top two competitors in each event must declare their intentions for the area competition at this time.  Top two in laned events qualify for Areas and top three in all other events.  Areas are in Camrose on Wednesday, May 17th.  Please make sure that your athlete informs the results person if they plan on going on to the next meet. We assume they are unless informed otherwise.

1. Marshaling Procedures and Substitutions 

• All events will be marshaled in the area where the event occurs or at the start line of all track events.  Athletes must report to the appropriate marshaling area.

• Track events take precedence over field events.  Competitors are encouraged to use the buddy system to assist them in marshaling.  Athletes must let the marshal know if they are involved in two events at the same time.

• The first check-in for all events will be 30 min. prior to the start of the event.  The second and FINAL check-in for all events will be 15 min. prior to the start of the event.  Those athletes who have not checked in with the marshal by the second and final call will be scratched.

• The meet may run ahead of schedule.

• Coaches will be allowed 5 minutes past the second call to substitute another athlete, having first cleared the substitution with the City/County Track & Field Chairman.

• Order of lane assignments will be given to the athlete upon marshaling.  Lanes will be seeded by the order in which the school entries were received.

• At the conclusion of each track event, competitors will be asked to stay in their lanes and to back up towards the finish line.  This will aid the finish judges.
