MEET PROGRAM (Updated 3/18/14)
ENTRY NOTES
Many field events interfere with each other based on the stadium layout. For all field events, we have limited the number of entries to be able to complete the events in our planned timeframe.
The Masters Mile Race is open to men and women who are 40 years old or older on the day of the race. Entries for this event only should be sent directly to tomlyons@sfsu.edu with name, age, and club affiliation. There is no entry fee for the Masters Mile, but as in past years, we will accept donations to the Mike Fanelli Scholarship Fund which supports the Track/XC programs at SF State.
Entries submitted are not guaranteed acceptance into the meet.
IMPLEMENT WEIGHTS AND MEASUREMENTS
Throwing implements will be inspected for weights and measures in the building near the check-in area beginning Friday at 12:00pm, and Saturday at 8:30am. All implements must be approved at least 30 minutes before the competition begins for that event.
ATHLETE AREA
There is plenty of space for team tents, but we’d prefer that they be set up at the top of the stands so that they do not block the view of spectators. No team tents in front of the press box or near the finish line.
TRAINER
We will have trainers on site near the check-in area.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Friday field events begin at 1:00PM.
Saturday field events begin at 9:30AM.
Saturday track events begin at 10:00AM.
In the throws and horizontal jumps all competitors will be given three attempts with the top-8 marks awarded three additional attempts.
Track events will be timed finals with heats seeded by entry marks submitted. Fastest heats will run first.
