Dear Coach:

 

            This is some information on the 2012 Doddridge Host Harrison County Invitational Track Meet to be held on Saturday, March 31, 2012, at Cline Stansberry Stadium in West Union, WV.

 

Time:  Field events will begin at 11:00am.  We hope to start running events around 11:30am.  We will follow the format for a two-session meet with a 30-minute break between the 400m dash and the 4 x 800m relay.

 

Awards:  Trophies will be given to the top 2 teams and to the top individual in both the boys’ and girls’ divisions.  Also, winners of each individual event will receive medals.  Ribbons will be awarded to relay placers 1 – 6 and to placers 2 – 6 in individual events.

 

Entry Fee:  $40 per team.  Make checks payable to DCHS Athletics.  Please mail it promptly.  ($80 total for boys and girls.)

 

Entry Deadline:  Hy-Tek entries need to be e-mailed to runwv@runwv.com by Monday, March 26, 2012.  The event file that is needed will be posted on www.runwv.com.  If you are unfamiliar with Hy-Tek you can find help at www.bridgeporttrack.com.  If you haven’t had a meet yet, please use reasonable estimates when entering your athletes.  (Not last year’s PR’s, but what is likely now.)  

 

Entries:  A team may enter up to 5 athletes in each field event, up to 4 in each running event 400m or shorter, and as many as they want in races that are 800m or longer.  Note:  Only 3 athletes per team may place in any individual event.  You may also run extra relay teams, but only one relay team per school can place.

 

Scratches:  Please FAX your scratches and replacements by 6:00pm on Friday, March 30. (775-655-5335). Last minute scratches and replacements will also be accepted until 10:30am at the meet.  However, please make every effort to get this information to us on Friday evening.

 

Miscellaneous:  The concession stand will be open.  Starting blocks will be provided.  The longest spikes allowed on our track are ¼ inch.  Participants in the throws and long jump will get 3 attempts in the trials with the top 7 advancing to the finals for 3 additional attempts.
