Additional Pre-registration
Information
The primary
difference of the SMAC meet entry spreadsheet versus the standard CYO one
for the 7th-8th grades are for the additional events added for the SMAC
Track Meet. Please note those events below:
All-Star
4x800 relay: This event opens
the running portion of the meet and will field the top 800m runners in an
East vs. West race (athletes from different schools will comprise the East
and West teams). This event will not count towards an athlete's
3-event maximum, so they can participate in this event plus 3 other
events. Please contact the Meet Director ( someone ) with the names/teams of any/all athletes (girls and boys) interested
in competing in this event. Athletes selected to compete in this
event will be announced as soon as those relays are finalized (which we hope
will be before Sunday....but if we do not get enough interest beforehand,
selections may be announced just before race time that afternoon). Coaches,
you will note there is a column on the meet entry spreadsheet (7-8 only) for
this relay event. Simply leave this blank....it will be filled in
manually later once the relay team/order has been decided by the meet
director.
Pentathlon:
Athletes will compete in the 100, 400, 1500, long jump, and shot put; this
will be the only series of events these athletes will be permitted to
compete in, and we will allow a maximum of two athletes (girls and boys) per
school/team to enter. SMAC Track takes great pride in being able to
host this unique opportunity/event for all 7th/8th grade girls/boys.
However in order for the Pentathlon to continue to be a success again this
year, we need participates!! Coaches, please talk to your athletes
and consider them for this event. Thank you!
Also note the additional columns at the end of the meet entry spreadsheet
(7-8 only) for the 5 events that make up the pentathlon.
Coaches, please fill-in either "NT/ND" or their time/distance
for all five pentathlon events on the spreadsheet
to properly register for it.
Throwers'
4x100 Exhibition Relay: This
event is designed to give discus and shot put athletes an opportunity to
shine on the track. As with the 4x800 relay, participation in this
event will not count towards an athlete's 3-event maximum....however this
particular event will be considered exhibition only and the final results
will not count towards the team scoring. Again note the additional
column on the meet entry spreadsheet for this event (7-8 only).
Coaches, please fill in all four participants in the columns using
the standard A1, A2, A3, A4 and NT or split-time in the cell for the relay
name (same as you would for any other standard relay such as the 4x100).
Team
Scoring: There will be no
individual team scoring. The meets (both 5-6 and 7-8) will be
scored as a dual meet: East vs. West. Teams/Schools will be
divided in to either East or West teams based on their geographical
location in relation to I-75. The current East/West breakdown is on
the SMAC Website here.
