Mask up: Everyone in attendance is required to wear a mask except the runners when they are competing during their Section races. Spectators & coaches who cheer and yell during a race risk spreading the virus to others, so a mask is a must. We consider the safety of the runners, coaches, spectators and staff involved in this meet to be a priority. Event staff will be on hand to ensure that masks are worn properly, covering both the nose and mouth and that proper social distancing is being maintained.

Race Procedures: Teams should report to starting line at least 10 minutes and no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of their race. Teams are to stay in their box and do strides directly front of their box. Avoid other teams during your warm-up. Boxes will be spread out and no team will be within 6 feet from another team.
