SITE:�� Rim of the World High School, Lake Arrowhead, CA

�� (Alternate site in the event of� bad weather is Rubidoux High School)

DIVISIONS:� Boys Freshman, Boys Sophomore, Boys Varsity

�� Girls Freshman, Girls Sophomore, Girls Varsity

The relays will use a combination Freshman and Sophomore.� You may move any Freshman or

Sophomore up to the Varsity level (relays only) so your top relay team can stay together.� Juniors

and Seniors are not allowed to drop down to the F/S level.� Also, the Girls PoleVault will have

combined Frosh/Soph due to time and facility limitations.

ENTRY LIMITATION: (maximum 4 events per athlete)

�� -1� entry for Relays

�� - unlimited� entries for � Individual events

You may wish to take the following into account while organizing your entries.� It is the general

opinion of many visiting coaches to Rim that due to the altitude (5,600 ft.) you get a maximum

of two quality performances from an athlete in the middle to long distance races.

ENTRY DEADLINE: �All entries must be completed on-line to �ezmeets.com� by Tuesday, April 10.�

You must email Don Chadez at [email protected] for a password.� Then go to the ez-meets.com web

site and enter your entries.� If a change or add is needed we will attempt to take care of it at the event

site on meet day.� Please do not call ahead for changes.

ENTRY QUALIFICATION STANDARDS:� Please submit this year's best mark.� BE ACCURATE!!!�

DO NOT ESTIMATE!!!� If an athlete is coming off an injury, don't put down an unrealistic time from the

beginning of the season that you know they will not achieve.� This will mess up the heats and hurt other athletes.

AWARDS:� Medals for: �� 1st - 5th place in individual events and relays

��

Medals will be awarded at the award stand in the center of the field.� Running event athletes will be

escorted as a group to the stand.� Field event participants should remain at the event site to see if they've

�placed and at that point they will be escorted (as a group) to the awards stand.

SCORING: �None

UNIFORM TOPS:�� CIF allows meet management to require uniform tops to be tucked in.�

Due to this meet being a �class act� we have chosen this option.� Also note there are no

dressing facilities available.

PROTECTION ISSUES FOR COMPETING IN THE MOUNTAINS:� Please make your

athletes aware of the potential temperature extremes in the mountains.� The early morning and

early evening has the potential to be cool.� Please advise your athletes to bring warm clothing,

head protection, and light gloves.� Late morning to early afternoon has the potential to be warm

and bright.� Please advise the athletes to bring sunglasses and sunscreen protection.� Particular

concern on an average day is for the strong sun, with cool temperatures, which can easily lead

�to serious sunburns.

WEATHER CANCELATION:�� Please remember that the weather on the mountain is a wild

card and part of the adventure of this meet.� Taking that into account, we will not run the meet

in the event of a wet fog or rain at Rim but will move the meet to Rubidoux High School.��

Notification will be at the last minute at 6:00 am the morning of the meet.

Use 909-336-2038 ext. 402 to call Coach Smith on the morning of the meet after 6:00 a.m. to

confirm the status of our weather.� Meet management will make a determination as of 6:00 a.m.

on the need to move the meet to Rubidoux.� If your bus is leaving before 6:00 a.m., I might

suggest carrying a cell phone and also note that well over 20 teams may be trying to call in a

short period of time.

be located near the clerk of the course.

clerk and be escorted to the starting line.

SCRATCHES AND SUBSTITUTIONS:� There is no scratch meeting.� We ask that your athletes

who will be substituting report directly to the clerk and inform them of the substitution.� It is critical

blocks, at the last minute, if the meet is running ahead of time.� The clerk of the course may place one

or two slower athletes behind another to eliminate a small heat.

800m:� One turn alleys to be used for the start.

1600m, 3200m:� A normal waterfall start will be utilized with the potential use of a four-lane, single

turn alley, starting in lane 5.

100m, 110m, and 300m Hurdles:� All races are finals.

4 X 100m Relay:� All races are finals. Athletes will report to the clerk, and then to their respective

starting position being the start line or exchange zone.� Relay teams will not report to the starting

athletes to confirm their lane, heat, and zones before leaving the clerk to eliminate any potential

confusion.

4 X 400m Relay:� All races are finals.� No starting blocks will be used but meet management may

allow blocks if the meet is running ahead of time.� Please note that a THREE-TURN STAGGER

is used where the first exchange is completed in lanes and the outgoing number 2 runner will maintain

�in his/her lane until reaching the break line at the end of the first turn.� The first exchange zone is

different than a normal 4 X 400 relay in that the zones are staggered and set toward the starting

line from your normal 4 X 400 exchange. The second and third exchange is similar as in most high

school tracks and all the 4 X 400 exchange zones are marked with a blue triangle.

Javelin.� Has been canceled for 2007.

Discus:� In the discus, your athletes will provide their own implements, and it is asked that during

warm-ups, throwing will be limited from the ring only and under the supervision of the discus official.�

There will be no prelims, and all flights will be announced on sight.� Three throws will be allowed, with

the furthest mark being measured. A fourth throw may be allowed if the head official determines there

�is enough time.

Long and Triple Jump:� Maximum spike length of 3/16inch.� This event will run on a tight time schedule

with specified times for check in/warm up and participation.� Each athlete will be allowed a maximum of

three jumps.� If an athlete is unable to complete his three jumps due to time running out or participating in

another event, there will be no possibility for makeups.� The event will be done in a cafeteria style with the

athletes lining up at the end of the runway and starting their event as directed by the head official.� No time

limits will be allowed and it is anticipated as athletes are instructed to start, they will begin their jump

immediately.� The flag marks listed below must be obtained for the jump to be measured.� If an athlete does

�not jump beyond the flag mark, that jump will not be measured.� Each athlete has the right to have their final

�jump measured in the event they do not clear the flags.� For the younger athletes, the regulation triple jump

boards could be used, or a closer board will be available to assist your triple jumpers who feel they cannot

reach the pit.

Athletes are asked to maintain their gear and to wait for their jumps on the side of the long jump runways

toward the inside of the football field, as to not interfere with the pole vault.� Athletes are allowed to use a

piece of athletic tape as a marker, placed on the concrete next to the runway.� No marks may be placed on

the red all-weather surface.

completed that height.� All marks must be tape, as to not interfere with other athletes or harm the all-weather

opposite of the long jump pit, as not to interfere with the long jumpers.� As in the high jump, the officials will do

everything possible to include an athlete who must leave for a running event, but after all athletes at the site have

�cleared the current height, athletes who have checked out will be passed and will compete at the next established

height upon their return.� The official in the pole vault has been instructed to do everything possible to move this

event along as quickly as possible.� Athlete's marks must be made of tape and placed on the concrete surface alongside

the runway, with no marks being placed on the red all-weather surface.� Opening heights may be raised if the event
