Some age groups may be combined in races to fill lanes on the track, but age divisions will be scored and medaled separately.

Medals: Top three individuals and top three relay teams in each event are awarded Utah Summer Games Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.

Medals will be awarded at the conclusion of each event on the Steps of Honor in front of the Harris Center Pavilion and Utah Summer Games Flame at the south end of the field.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

A tentative schedule will be posted at check-in and on this web page for updated event times.  If the meet gets behind schedule a rolling time schedule will be adopted.  Please listen for stadium public address calls or check in with the bullpen.

Athletes must be at the bullpen (located in the southeast corner of the Eccles Coliseum), one hour prior to their event.  Field Event athletes please check in at your event location.

Rules: USA Track and Field rules apply in all situations. See www.usatf.org ONLY COMPETING ATHLETES ARE ALLOWED ON TRACK.

Facilities: Athletes must wear ¼" pyramid spikes or less.  Starting blocks and some field implements will be furnished.  To ensure the beauty of the Eccles Coliseum, please pick up any trash or items left behind.

Relay Teams: Pre-registration of relay teams is not necessary, unless it is the only event you are competing in.  At the bullpen on the day of the event, fill out a relay card and give to the clerk of the course.  Relay teams must consist of four original registered athletes, plus two alternates.  All members of a relay team must wear the same uniform and supply their own batons.

Timing: Timing is fully automatic with an additional back up system (FinishLynx).

Heat Sheets: All heat sheets are posted at the Bullpen at the southeast corner of the stadium.

Results: All results will be posted near the Awards Tent at the south end of the stadium.

Track Finals: The top eight times in each age group will advance to Saturday's finals.  If there are only eight or fewer entrants in a Friday heat, the event will be a final.  Do not assume that track event finals will be rolled over to Saturday.  We do this as a courtesy to athletes who compete in more than one event and to speed up the meet.  Heat sheets for finals on Saturday will be posted by the end of the meet at the awards tent.

Tents: Tents or umbrellas may only be set up behind the bullpen or in the stands.  No tents are allowed on the infield.

Concessions: Located on the northwest side of the stadium.

Restrooms: Located on the southwest side of the stadium.

Warm-up: Bullpen area is located under tents on southeast corner above track.

Trainer: Athletic trainers are available on site, located near the bullpen and at the finish line.

ALL FIELD EVENTS ARE FINALS.

Hammer Throw: The Hammer Throw is an Open event, and so it will only appear for the open division (19-29). If you would like to compete in the Hammer Throw, and are not between 19-29, then contact the event coordinator directly, Jeramie Murray, 435-590-6744, murrayj@suu.edu.
