5/9: Saturday Meet Information (starts at 8:00)

Track parents and guardians:

Tomorrow’s meet at the LHS track will be against Wilbraham AND WILL START AT 8:00 (at Wilbraham’s request). 

Everyone should wear their black/white singlets AND their bib number (see below if you have lost yours).  The order of events and schedule is below.

The weather is a little uncertain for tomorrow morning but it looks like the rain will be ending just before the meet begins. We typically will persevere through light rain, but if the forecast changes to the point that heavy rain is expected, I will email you separately if we need to cancel. Unless you hear differently, the meet is ON.

The meet will be run in 3 shifts, lasting about 45-50 minutes each. Keep in mind that these times are approximate.  Grades 1-3 will be first, with the gun going off at 8:00 for the first running event, and field events will begin.  Grades 4-5 are next, Grades 6-8 are last.

In the event of a conflict between a running event and field event, the running event takes priority. Your child should leave the field event after telling the official, go to the running event, and then return to complete the field event.

Bib NumberYour child must wear his/her bib number. Please RETAIN your bib number for the rest of the season. You will use it at each meet. If you have lost your bib number, please go to the scorer's table for assistance.

UniformsIf you have not yet picked up your uniform pack with your bib, we will have those near the blue tent.  

Water Bottles:  don't forget your own water bottle.

Sunscreen:  It is very easy to get burned this time of the year.  Apply sunscreen early and often!
