Competition Format
The youth and adult competition will take place during the same meet.
Events will begin with the youngest age division and progress through all age divisions. Female contestants in each age division will compete first, followed by the male contestants in that age division. In all track events, heats will be run with the best time determining the final placing.
Seed Times: Seed times are not required, however, athletes can indicate their seed times on the entry form or during online registration. These seed times will be taken into consideration when creating the meet.
Participants are required to bring their own implements. To ensure fairness, participants are allowed to use any other any other competitors implement.
