Where to go when you get to the stadium…..
Please go to the check-in table first.
At that location, participants will receive an event label for each of their registered events.
After getting their labels, they are free to go to the bullpen.
From the bullpen, event staff take the participant to the first available event they signed up for.
After completing the event, the participant returns back to the bullpen to wait for the their next available event.
Once the participant completes all their events, they are free to go.
If you are still looking for relay team members, several participants have sign up for the relay and are not on a team yet. You can go to the link below --- sign in to your account and invite participants to be on your team.

No relay races will be held at the meet. Only teams that have been established by April 24 with members who competed at the meet will advance to the State Meet.
