Welcome to the Royal High School Track Invitational
Information page!
If you have not already done so, RSVP to Heather Ream at [email protected].
You will be placed on the email list and receive all future correspondence regarding the meet.
Date and Time: March 8th, 2008 – 10:00 a.m. start time for all events.
End time based on number of competing athletes (approximately 6:30p.m.).
Fees: $325 for a full team (unlimited events). Partial teams and small schools
contact for reduced fees. Checks can be sent to Royal High School, c/o
Coach Jay Sramek, 1402 Royal Ave., Simi Valley, CA 93065.
Events and Divisions: Open meet with all standard high school track and field
events in standard order. We have a 9 lane all weather track. We will have 2 high jump pits,
2 long/triple jump pits, 2 discus rings, 1 shot put ring and 1 pole vault pit.
Divisions will be boys and girls Frosh/Soph and Varsity. Freshmen and sophomores
are not required to compete in the F/S and can compete as varsity. Relays may enter
�B� and �C� teams. Athletes may enter up to 4 events (including relays).
Event Entries: Entries will not have to be sent in ahead of time. Teams will submit
rosters in Hy-tek Team Manager and each athlete will receive 3 labels. There are 3 labels
per row on the sheets and it is much easier to hand them out that way. For relays, only
the anchor needs a label from any member of their team. The only reason you will need
a 4th label for an athlete is if that athlete is competing in 4 individual events. You can
copy their information onto a blank label if needed. For track events, athletes will report
to the staging area after the first call and be placed in heats based on estimated finish time.
This will keep heats evenly matched and all lanes filled. For field events, athletes will
eport to the venue and place their label on a chosen heat/flight sheet on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Timing: All track events are FAT timed by Royal Results. They are the independent
timing team that does Arcadia, CIF and State. Results will be posted throughout the
day as they become available. Coaches will receive full results for every heat via email.
Awards: Awards will be given to the top 5 overall finishers in each event. There will
also be a special award for the �Athlete of the Meet� in each of the 4 divisions. We ask
coaches to bring any nominees to our attention as the meet progresses. Medals will be
sorted as each race finishes and will be handed out at the end of the meet. If a team
needs to leave before the meet ends, please collect whatever medals we have for you.
Coaches Meeting: All head coaches need to meet at the timing tent at 9:30 am. We
will discuss any important meet information and take care of any last minute
questions/concerns. We will have a prize drawing. Raffle tickets will be in your
packets so don�t forget to bring them to the meeting. There will also be snacks and coffee.
Team/Spectator Gate Entry: There will be labeled gates for teams and coaches to enter.
You can pick up your packets containing athlete labels at that time. There will be a charge
for spectators. It will be approximately $5 for age 17+, and $2-$3 for ages 7-16. No
charge age 6 and under.
Spikes: Spikes must be 1/4� (or 7mm) needle or shorter. No cone shaped spikes will
be allowed. There will be a limited number of spikes for sale for $2/set at the athlete entry
gate. Please bring small bills. To help speed up the entry process, please have your
athletes check their spikes before entering the stadium. Spike checkers will be stationed
at the gate. Have any oversized spikes removed prior to entering.
Canopies/Radios: Canopies will be allowed along the top rows on both sides of the
stadium. There will be many teams, so please be courteous. There are areas above the
bleachers on the back stretch for tents. There is also room near the shot put and discus
rings for canopies to shade your throwers. In case of rain, we will open the area under
the bleachers for shelter. No boom boxes will be allowed in the stadium.
Bus Parking: There may be a volleyball tournament the same day as the track meet.
If that is the case, buses will be allowed to drop off athletes at the stadium entrance.
here will be overflow parking for buses at the church across the street from the school
entrance. Spectators may park in any available school lot or city street.
Snack Bar: There will be a full service snack bar with fresh and hot food! Coaches
will receive snack bar vouchers in their packets.
T-shirts and vendors: There will be meet t-shirts, tanks and sweatshirts available.
There will also be other styles of track and field merchandise for sale. We will have
a local running store with a booth as well as a track supply vendor.
Facilities: There will be boys and girls locker rooms available as well as additional restrooms.
***If you have any additional questions about the meet, please contact Heather Ream
at [email protected]. As the meet gets closer, more information will be sent out to
those who have rsvp�ed.
ATHLETE EVENT ENTRY PROCEDURES
Track Events: Athletes
go to the infield after their event is called. They
need to know their approximate finish time. You can write them on the
label if that is easier for you.
They will be lined up into heats based on
the time they give us. Each heat
will be entered into the computer using
their athlete number and then led to the start line. Labels will be collected
at the end of each race as a back-up.
This keeps all lanes filled and heats
evenly matched. In event of a
relay, only the anchor runner needs a label.
It can be from any member of their relay team. Athletes are each given 3
labels. The only reason an athlete
may need an extra label is if they are
competing in 4 individual events.
In that case, give them a blank label
and copy their athlete number and name onto it. If you must use the generic
athlete numbers assigned to your team, please make sure to give a boy�s
label to a boy and a girl�s label to a girl.
High Jump/Pole Vault: Athletes
check in immediately preceding the
division they compete in. You will
tell the judge your starting height
and they will group you into flights of similar ability to prevent long
waits for more accomplished jumpers/vaulters. Ties will only be
broken for top 5 finishes.
Shot Put/Discus(3
throws): Athletes will assign themselves to a
flight
anytime before their event by placing their athlete label on a numbered
heat sheet. The heat sheets
will be in a folder by division on a table
next to their event. They then return
for the flight they assigned
themselves to.
Please do not sign up next to
each other if you are sharing implements!
Shot put warm-ups will be completed in the warm-up pit next to the tennis
courts. Only competition throws
will be taken in the main ring. In
discus,
athletes will be allowed 4 total warm-up throws in the ring they will
compete on immediately before their assigned flight.
Long/Triple Jump(3
jumps): Athletes will assign themselves to a flight
anytime before their event by placing their athlete label on a numbered heat
sheet. The heat sheets will be in
a folder by division on a table next to their
event. They then return for the
flight they assigned themselves to.
