Parking is located in the rear of the school off on Gurley Ave. Just east of the campus.  
 
Facility:
  Brand New 9 lane, all weather surface. Only 3/16 inch or less needle spikes will be allowed.
 
Purpose: The relays purpose is to provide you an opportunity to build interest in your program by giving your
athletes an early chance to compete against some of the finest athletes California has to offer.
 
Instructions: The competition will consist of one relay (5 x 200m x 8). Each team will consist of 5 athletes, and each of
the 5 athletes will run 200 meters 8 times.  Therefore the total distance covered (20 laps) will be 8000
meters (1600 meters per athlete; in 200 meter increments).  There will be 2 teams to a lane.  A 2-turn
stagger will be used (thus the first 2 handoffs will be in lanes, and the 3rd runner will break for the pole).  
 
Clerk: Competitors will receive starting instructions from the clerk 10 minutes prior to race.  All competitors will
be escorted to their respective place (runners 1, 3, and 5 at the start/finish line; runners 2 and 4 at the
opposite corner of the track).
 
Uniforms:
Please remember this relay event is an unattached activity for high school students, who are members of
your team.  Since all athletes will be competing unattached there can be no school uniforms, so as not to
violate high school governing body regulations.  We are asking that the teams wear matching t-shirts and/or
shorts, or similar outfits, if possible as to eliminate confusion with so many handoffs.
 
Team Packets: Packets can be picked up Saturday morning, and will include lane assignments and race numbers.  Heats
will be seeded by 2008 CIF/City finish and by a first come first serve basis.
 
Equipment: Teams should furnish their own batons.
 
Rain or Shine:
Meet will be held rain or shine.  
 
Records: Boys 19:01.3 (Arcos, Cerda, Fitch, Gauger, Verdone – unattached Corona, ’08)
Girls 20:59.8 (Hood, Williams, Young, Daily, Collins – unattached LB Wilson, ’05)
