Dear Coach:

This is some information on the 2013 Doddridge Host Harrison County Invitational Track Meet to be held on Friday, March 29, 2013, at Cline Stansberry Stadium in West Union, WV.

Time: Field events (Boys Pole Vault, Long Jump, & Discus; Girls High Jump & Shot Put) will begin at 4:00pm. We hope to start running events around 4:30pm. 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: $50 per team ($100 total for boys and girls). Make checks payable to DCHS Athletics.

Entry Deadline: Hy-Tek entries need to be e-mailed to runwv@runwv.com by Sunday, March 24, 2013. 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 before Noon on Friday, March 29. (775-655-5335). Last minute scratches and replacements will also be accepted until 3:30pm at the meet. However, please make every effort to get this information to us by Friday at noon.

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.
