6. Parking: Only 1 vehicle will be allowed to park in the stadium lot next to the track. This can be either a team or equipment bus. Each school will receive a parking pass for this vehicle. All spectators will be required to park in the church parking lot or the Upper School parking lot just outside the athletic complex.

7. Tents: All team tents must be set up behind the bleachers on the side opposite of the press box. No tents will be allowed on the press box side of the track.

8. The Team Mile Each team will consist of three competitors, and the team score for the event will be tallied by totaling the times of the three finishers, with the lowest time winning. Immediately following the Team Mile will be a consolation 1600m.

9. Field events Each team is authorized and strongly encouraged to have three competitors in each field event, although fewer competitors are allowed. The field events will be scored by totaling the competitors marks to obtain a total mark for that 3-person team. Then the mark will be compared with other teams marks to receive a final placement and score.

10. The Shuttle Hurdle Relay will be comprised of teams of 4 hurdlers negotiating hurdles (set at 30 for ladies and 36 for men) spaced like a High Hurdle race. The difference will be that the hurdles will be set to run to the finish line in one direction, and in the adjacent lane they will be set to run to the starting line. We will use lanes 1 and 2, 4 and 5, and 7 and 8, leaving an open lane between each group of hurdles for safety purposes.

11. The Weight Mans 4 x 100m Relay must incorporate athletes from your team who competed in the Weight events in this meet.

12. The Intermediate Hurdle Relay will consist of 4 hurdlers running a 300m hurdle race, with the next hurdler starting their portion of the relay when the previous hurdler crosses the finish line. We ask that you have two coaches serve as assistants, standing by to aid your hurdlers in determining your team's finish and start.

13. This meet is being dedicated to the memory of Jeff Wentworth, who passed away in December. He left an indelible mark on the track and field family of Central Florida with his tireless work ethic, supreme professionalism, and passion for the sport. He was a fierce competitor in his own right, and never ceased to bring out the best in others. One unique goal of this meet to take the proceeds collected and work in concert with FLrunners to select one senior athlete who competed in the meet as the winner of a scholarship to be used toward their college education. This goal is not complete yet, but a work in progress, and we will hopefully have it in place by March 17.

Thank you for your participation, and may God bless you as you go through your school year and your track season.
