There is a meet that has been posted by someone in the league for our JV Finals and Varsity Trials on May 7th.
Since entries have already been posted to this meet, I will ask everyone to do their entries under that meet with
the understanding that the Varsity Trials are at SHP on Wednesday 5/4 and the JV Finals are at SHP on
Thursday 5/5. Both meets will have a coaches meeting at 3:30 with first field and running events beginning at 4:00.
Entries will be due on Sunday 5/1 by 8:00 pm.
The Varsity Finals remain the same with a 4:00 start at CSM on Thursday 5/12. You will not have to do
entries for this meet as our timer will carry over qualifiers from our trials.
Please see some of the information that I have listed below for entry, qualifying and scoring that we used
last year and will keep consistent for this year. I will send a sign up list for meet responsibilities shortly.
Varsity Trials and Finals
-For the Varsity division each school may enter up to 3 athletes per event and 1 relay team.
-Varsity should have balanced seeding with top 1 from each heat and next best times totaling 9 advancing.
-In the 1600 it is the Top 2 per heat and the next 8 for 12 qualifiers.
-In the 800 we will do a one turn stagger and there will be trials for it.
-The only event for Varsity that will not run trials is the 3200. Boys and girls will not be combined in this final race.
-If there are 9 or less athletes (12 in the 1600) that are entered in an event, the trials will be skipped and
all athletes will be sent on to the Finals.
-Varsity field events, each athlete gets 3 attempts then top 9 advance to Finals.
-At Finals they get 3 attempts, re-order for finals and 3 additional attempts with trials of
that day carrying over. The marks from the previous "Trials" competition are not carried over.
-Flights will have 8-10 athletes per flight with the strong flight going second. If there are
10 or less athletes in the field event, then trials will be skipped and all advance to the Finals.
-No Pole Vault at our finals. Athletes that participate in the pole vault will compete at the WCAL F/S meet
on Saturday May 7th at St. Francis if they wish to attempt to reach the at-large mark.
-Trials are not needed in the 4x1 & 4x4 for boys since there are only 9 boys teams in the WBAL.
-If there are scratches for the finals, alternates will be used. Three alternates will be listed.
-Points are awarded 10-8-6-4-2-1.
Junior Varsity Finals
-For junior varsity each school is guaranteed at 3 entries per event and 1 relay team.
-If each team entered the maximum amount of athletes per individual event, there would be 39 entries in the girls
and 27 entries in the boys. If we find teams did not enter 3 athletes, those spots would open up for other teams to
fill beyond their 3 guaranteed entries. These will be filled in with the next best mark entered from any team.
-JV heats should be seeded fast to slow and run as finals, with the slow heat running first.
-There are no Trials.
-Points are based on merged results from all the heats.
-All competing JV athletes are eligible to score points for their team.
-The Finals for the 3200 for JV's will be run at the Trials as two seperate races.
-JV field events, each competitor gets 3 attempts. Top 9 get reseeded and get an additional 3 attempts.
-Points are awarded 10-8-6-4-2-1.
Lanes are seeded 4-5-3-6-2-7-1-8 for 8 lanes and 5-6-4-7-3-8-2-9-1 for 9 lanes,
3-4-2-5-1-6 for 6 lanes.
The division order for events is JVG-JVB-VG-VB, except for hurdles where order is JVG-VG-JVB-VB.
"B" teams are not allowed.
