EAGLE CLASSIC RELAYS

Dear Coach:

Thank you for accepting the invitation to the fifteenth annual Eagle Classic Relays.  This early season meet is intended to allow competitors an opportunity to compete in a relay setting against athletes of their own grade level.  We have tried to keep this a "full team" meet by inviting relatively few schools, and offering a flat entry fee per school.  The meet should be an enjoyable day for all, with many of your athletes returning home with awards.

DATE:          Saturday, March 22, 2008

PLACE:         West Valley High School, Cottonwood

TIME:          Field Events - 10:00 a.m.  Running Events - 11:00 a.m.

DIVISIONS:    Varsity Boys, Varsity Girls, F/S Boys, F/S Girls

ENTRY FEES:    $250.00 per school or $10.00 per relay. Entry fees must be paid on the day of the meet. NO CHECK, NO RUN! Please make checks payable to:  West Valley Track. Any questions, contact Scott Fairley at: Phone # 530-243-4331 (home) email: sbfairley@charter.net

ENTRIES:       All entries must be done online at: www.athletic.net  See instructions below. The close of entries will be Tuesday, March 18 at 10:00pm.  You may use the old entry forms to add-up times for a total relay estimate. Do your best to estimate times and distances for this time of year, not all-time personal records!!

RELAY TEAMS:   Each athlete may compete in any four events. Let me know if you have an extra relay team; we may be able to fit them in if it doesn't add a heat.  Field event relays will consist of three athletes. However, you do not need three competitors to enter a team.

SEEDING:      Entries will be seeded and posted on our web site at: www.geocities.com/westvalleytrack If you have any changes or corrections to make, call Scott Fairley at (530) 243-4331 or email: sbfairley@charter.net

DIVISIONAL SCORING: Six places will be scored (10-8-6-4-2-1)

OVERALL SCORING:

                The points earned in each of the four divisions (varsity boys, varsity girls, F/S boys, and F/S girls), will be added together for a total score per school.

AWARDS:        Individual awards will consist of custom medals to the athletes of the top three (3) places in each event with a trophy for the first place team in each division.  A perpetual trophy named the Relay Champions of the North State will be awarded to the overall team champions for all four divisions.

SCRATCHES:     Coaches report all scratches to the clerk of the course for all running events, and the field event judges for all field events, upon arriving at the track.

COACHES & ATHLETES:

                Coaches are to remain off the track and infield.  Athletes are to stay off the track and infield until their event is called, at which time they will report to the clerk of the course located at the head of the straightaway or go directly to their field event.  DO NOT REPORT TO THE STARTING LINE! Warm-up on the fields outside the stadium.

CLERK OF THE COURSE:

                Running relay teams must check in a minimum of 15 minutes prior to the event. All members of a relay team should report promptly to the clerk of the course at the FIRST call for instructions and lane assignments.  At 3rd call, they will be escorted to the starting area.  Field event athletes should report directly to their event upon first call.

SPIKES:        West Valley has an all-weather track and runways.  3/16 inch spikes are required for all events.

FIELD EVENTS:  Field event relays will consist of three athletes whose distances/heights will be added for a total mark.  Competitors will be given three (3) attempts in the shot, discus, long jump, and triple jump. Ties broken by fewest total misses (PV/HJ), farthest individual effort (LJ/TJ/SP/DT).
