BULLDOG RELAYS FEBRUARY 18, 2017 THE MEET: The Bulldog Relays are meant to be a fun early season meet! Since there are a variety of combinations not commonly recognized as a “relay,” results will not be posted on TFRRS, but will be accessible on the TLU website www.tlubulldogs.com under Track & Field upon completion of the meet. Results will be posted throughout the meet near the finish area.
ENTRY FEE: Cost is $200 per gender; $400 for both men’s and women’s teams. Checks should be made out to Texas Lutheran University Track & Field and will be accepted at check in on the day of the meet.
ENTRIES: Entries are due by 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 13. We will be using Direct Athletics for entries. TEAM CAMPS: Tents may be set up anywhere adjacent to the track in the grass areas with the exception of on the hills. No tents in the stands. Please tell your athletes not to sit on the walls on the north and south sides of the stadium adjacent to the track.
ATHLETIC TRAINING: There will be an Athletic Training station set up at the track which will include ice for injuries as well as a water station. Athletic Training staff will man the station, but you are asked to bring your own supplies. The staff will not be able to assess any pre-existing injuries.
WEIGH INS: Weigh ins will take place from 8:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. adjacent to the shed near the shot ring (on the East side of the track). All implements will be weighed at this time.
STARTING HEIGHTS: In both the Pole Vault and the High Jump the starting heights will be determined at check in. Men may seamlessly enter at any height and may have one run through attempt in the high jump and three in the pole vault before attempting their first (and only their first) height.
CHECK IN: Athletes competing in running events will check in a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the start of their event at the table located under the white tent on the south end of the track. Only 1 person per relay needs to be present at check in. For field events, check in with the official at the event a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.
WARM UP AREA: Athletes may warm up on the infield of the track, adjacent to the track in the grass field (outside of the javelin flagged off areas), and around the stadium on the crushed gravel path surrounding the facility. IF YOUR ATHLETES RUN ON CAMPUS ON THE ROADS – MAKE SURE THEY ARE SINGLE FILE AND FACING TRAFFIC. ALSO, DO NOT LET ATHLETES RUN ALONG THE BUSY ROADS ADJACENT TO CAMPUS (KINGSBURY AND COURT STREETS AS WELL AS 46).
PARKING: All buses are asked to drop off athletes at the track and park to the south near Jackson Auditorium.
SCHEDULE: Please note that the schedule is tentative and may change once entries are submitted. All coaches will receive the finalized version of the schedule on Wednesday before the meet. (see the next page for the tentative schedule of events)
