Meet Information

Coaches,

I have placed the starting box assignments uner results. There will not be assignments in the packet (PRINT YOUR OWN or make note of your #). We will have copies taped to the registration tables. Box #1 is closest to the road and Box #24 is closest to the finish line.

THIS IS A SCHSL EVENT, HOSTED BY SPRING VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, AND RUN-OFF BY THE SCTCCCA.

1. Athletes are allowed to be on the State Meet Course on Friday
SCHSL Handbook. pg 27-7-h. Teams are allowed to walk or jog the course the day before the championship
2. National Federation Rules shall govern all contests
3. Medals will be awarded to the first three finishers in each race (SCHSL) and ribbons to 3rd-15th (SCTCCCA)
4. Top 2 Teams in each race will be awarded Trophies (SCHSL)
5. Top 15 in each race will be named All-State (SCTCCCA)

7. Parking is $8 per vehicle
8. Any athlete that is wearing a cast, the cast MUST be wrapped per Rule 4-4 Art 1
9. Any coach in an Off-Limit area, can cause your athletes to be DQed

b. Inside the finish ropes at any time (unless you are working)
c. Inside the ropes at the top of the hill (unless you are working)
10. We will have USATF officials (6) on the course monitoring each race.
These are meet officials and have full authority, along with the SCTCCCA VP's
11. ALL TEAM TENTS NEED TO BE PLACED ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING NEAREST THE AWARDS STAND.
No teams can setup on the parking lot strip of grass, or on the finish line side of the building. This is a request from Clemson.
12. Please keep your team out of the corn fields, bamboo fields, lake, etc....
We are guests of the Sandhills and we do not want to lose this wonderful venue.
13. There will be a designated area (just before the mile and 600m past the 2 mile) where teams can hand water to their athletes.
Please be aware, that there will be an official there and if the runner (receiving water) or the person handing water, interferes
with another runner in the race, the runner in the race will be DQed.
Calling for cool Friday night (45) and a high of only 71 Saturday. We do not see this as necessary, but the option is there.
This is the only place where this could be done on the course.
14. ONE FOR ONE SWAPS (Qualified Teams only, not individuals) will be allowed AT LEAST 30 MINUTES prior to your scheduled race.
You will use your team roster in your packet and cross out the name and grade of the person and write in the new runners name
and grade. It must be legible for any swap to occur. You will give your swap to the person working the packet pickup.
DO NOT TAKE TO THE TIMERS. The roster will not be returned to the coach.
15. DO NOT TAKE ANY BIB NUMBERS INSIDE THE ROPED OFF AREA. This area is off-limits (see #9 above), and no coach should be
inside this area anyways.

UNIFORMS:
Please be sure you are in compliance with the uniform policy for this weekend.
