Welcome to the TMS JV/V Meet!

 

Information from CHS: People are not to park along the back road.  It is used for student pick up after school and also the emergency access during events. Folks are not to park on the grass areas.  After 3pm, the main gates could be closed to help with this.  Unfortunately, everyone thinks they need to park 10 ft from the venue. Parents/visitors need to know it is handicap parking only at the field.  All others should park in the main lot and walk down. Visitors can not park in the bus lot between CHS and CMS until after 2:30 pm.

Field Events- Begins at 1:30 pm (we will try to get rolling as soon as our help has arrived. It would be helpful if coaches can supervise events until TMS staff arrive.) 

• High Jump: The high jump will be held outside. (Girls start height=3’4” & boys height= 4” (JV), 4' 4 " (Varsity)).
• Shot and Discus- Each thrower will have three consecutive throws for scoring.  Specific areas are set up for these events and will be announced. Girls Shot and Boys Discus will start the throwing events and then switch. 
• Long Jump/ Triple Jump- Girls Long and Boys Triple is first. The girl's long jump will be held first with practice jumps until the competition starts, then three jumps for measurement.  When complete the boys will start.

Reminders At the Meet:

• Only those in events and coaches are allowed on the infield. Non-participants are to remain in the stands.
• Water is the only food/drink allowed on Track! No food, gum, or sports drinks are allowed within the fence of the track.  
• Make sure your athletes do not bring frisbees or footballs to throw around in the infield.
• Pack it in and Pack it out. Athletes should be supervised at all times and schools are responsible for cleaning their own areas.
• Spikes: no longer than 1/8 inch
• There will be NO CONCESSIONS please make sure athletes bring food/drink.

Announcements:  

There is an announcer calling out what events are being checked in. For ALL running events, there will be an official called the CLERK. That is the person who will tell you what lane you are in and what HEAT you are to run in. A race can have several HEATS. 

If you are doing a Running Event along with a Field Event, you must CHECK OUT of your Field Event and then go to your Running Event. CHECKING OUT is simply letting the person who is scoring your Field Event know that you are going to a Running Event and will come back to complete your Field Event. Always try to get your Field Events done early if you have running events. You do not want to wait too long, because once the official leaves the Field Event, you cannot make up any remaining Throws or Jumps.

There are to be absolutely no athletes on the infield if they are not preparing to run in an upcoming event.   

Thank you,

Felica Pridgen
