Information from the Meet Director:
Thanks again to all of you whose participation and cooperation
have made the Seton Hall Games one of the best scholastic indoor
meets in the country. This is a national sanctioned high school
meet. All athletes must represent their high school, and all entries
must be signed by the high school principal.
This meet has been designed to offer an elite competitive opportunity
during the holiday season: a chance to run P.R.'s on a fast track,
make the prestigious National and All-State lists, or qualify for
other elite events. Following is general information about the meet,
a tentative schedule of events and an entry form. Please read carefully
and note the changes that have been made.
General Information
Please read and follow these directions carefully. Failure to meet
deadlines or follow proper procedures may result in the reject or
your entry.
ENTRY: The Entry deadline is Monday, December 17, 2001. All entries
received after that date will be returned. Entry fees must accompany
entry form. Entry fee is $8.00 per athlete per event in individual
events. All relays are $20.00. Entry fees are non-refundable. Please
make check payable to SETON HALL TRACK. Due to the numerous amount
of personal checks that were returned "Insufficient Funds"
we can no longer accept personal checks for payment of entry fee.
Changes in your entry day of meet may be allowable according to
entry numbers and time. No changes in seeded sections will be allowed.
There is a $10.00 charge for every change.
FACILITY: The Brennan Field House has a brand new 5-lane super
fast 200 multi-colored Mondo track. Please note only 1/8" pin
spikes will be allowed in all track and jumping events. We cannot
allow larger spikes or "crown" or "pyramid"
spikes. All racing and jumping shores will be checked at the starting
line. All field events will be contested on the same Mondo surface.
Because of the very limited spectator area, we ask that you DO NOT
bring non-competitors. Please bring only those athletes who have
met the qualifying standards posted on page seven. Warm-ups will
be restricted to the infield area or outdoors. No warm-ups will
be allowed on the track once running events have begun. NO FOOD
WILL BE ALLOWED IN FIELDHOUSE!
FIELD SIZE: Also, due to limited seating area, the meet management
reserves the right to limit field size to approximately thirty athletes.
Fields will be filled on a first-come/first-serve basis. Therefore,
it is possible, though not probable, that some entries receive on
time may still have to be rejected. Enter early to avoid this.
AWARDS: T-Shirts will be awarded to all 1st place finishers &
2nd place finishers will receive spike bags. The relay portion of
the Seton Hall Games will be scored on a 10-8-6-4-3-2-1 scoring
system. T-Shirts will be awarded to all four members of 1st place
finishers and 2nd place finishers will receive spike bags.
After tabulating the scores of the six relay events, a team trophy
will be awarded to the winning girl's team and the winning boy's
team. Freshman/Sophomore 4X4 does not count in team scoring, however,
the 1st & 2nd place teams will receive awards.
As an added bonus, all winning relay teams of 2001 will have THAT
particular relay event fee waived for the 2002 Seton Hall Games.
*** There must be at last two teams in the relay event for that
event to be run. No "B" teams will
score.
QUALIFYING STANDARDS: Qualifying standards for all events are listed
with the enclosed tentative schedule of events. Performances must
be verified within the last year. Only athletes with documented
performances will be placed in seeded sections. Relay splits are
not acceptable entry performances. Please do not attempt to enter
athletes who have not met the qualifying standards. Seed times and
actual performances will be considered in next years' invitation
process.
ATHLETES WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE IN 3 EVENTS PER DAY!
MISCELLANEOUS: The Seton Hall Games are conducted under N.J.S.I.A.A.
and National sanctions.
FEATURED EVENTS: This years "Featured Events" will be
both the Boy's and Girl's 400-Meter Dash and Mile Runs. You will
notice that the 3000's are the only individual running events scheduled
for Thursday. This has been done so that the top distance runners
have the opportunity to run both longer races. Watches will only
be awarded to the winners of the "Featured Events".
The Seton Hall Games have been named by the Millrose Games Committee
as one of the qualifying events for their prestigious Jumbo Elliott
Mile for high school boys and girls. We believe this is the fastest,
most convenient, venue for such qualifying attempts and anticipate
very strong field for both races.
The meet will be timed by the Finishlynx system in all events.
We will record the top six performances in all final events. You
may want to note your athletes' performances after those positions.
Each school will be held responsible for the behavior and cooperation
of its individual athletes. Sportsmanship or cooperation problems
will effect your next year's invitation.
