Notes

  • No one will be permitted to compete without a signed waiver.
  • All runners must check in at the clerking table on the infield in the prescribed time window or be scratched from the event! They must do this for each event they are entered in.
  • We will run these events efficiently. It is the athlete's responsibility to be ready for the start of his/her race.
  • Only blocks provided by the University of Akron can be used. Blocks will be set for the 60, 60H and 200 (to adjust block settings re-position pads only).
  • Runners will be called to their marks as soon as the times of the previous heat are recorded. Runners should have their sweats off before that heat is started and should position block pads immediately after the start of that race.
  • Obey all starter commands.
  • Field events will not be held for an athlete to compete in another event.
  • The first two exchanges of the 4x 200m relay will use international exchange zones. The final exchange will be a California (4x4) exchange.
  • 1/4" spikes (or smaller) only.
  • No food, drink or gum are permitted on fieldhouse track or turf.
  • Team camps will be in the gym off the fieldhouse lobby where registration will take place.
