TEAM CAMPS: Teams camps may be set up in the southwest section of the track. This area does not have grass so we suggest that you bring tarps and or chairs. Teams may not set up a camp on the infield. The infield is reserved for athletes who are warming up for events. Please monitor your athletes and ask them to move to the outskirts of the track if they are not competing or warming up. Fans are not allowed in the infield except for the south east corner of the track which is the viewing area for the discus and high jump AND the east area to view the pole vault. Please inform your parents of this procedure and help enforce this policy if necessary. The bleachers at the track facility are for fans only.

WARM-UP AREA: The turf is being replaced on our football stadium and cannot be used for warm-ups.  The infield may be used for sprint warm-ups and strides. Distance runners would warm-up and cool down outside of the track. Athletes are not allowed to use throwing implements in the warm-up area.  Athletes will be responsible for check-in before their event begins.

ATHLETE ENTRY:  Athletes may enter via the east or west entrances to the track. Athletes must be dressed in their school issued uniform.

FAN ENTRY:  We are asking that all fans enter via the east entrance and park in the Football parking lot. We would like to keep the Track parking lot available for athletes, coaches and fans who need ADA access to our facility.
