AWARDS SEEDED**** Special Rotary Invitational Awards will be awarded to the top five finishers (including relays). These will be awarded immediately after each race or event. Team trophies will be awarded to the top three boys and girls teams. An outstanding track and an outstanding field male and female athlete will receive an award as the Most Outstanding Performer of the meet. The first place finisher will have the first choice for the award, second will then pick till fifth place gets her/his award.

Drape Medals will be presented to the top seven finishers in each flight of the field events and distance runs. These races will be seeded straight by time.
