The top four (4) athletes in each event will advance to the AAAAA Qualifier Meet at Spring Valley High School on Saturday, May 5, 2018.

Event winners are named "All-Region". Please return Coach of the Year ballot to Ms. Cheryl Means at timing table.

Also, the Region II Qualifying Meet is the beginning of the "State Meet Series"; therefore whatever event(s) you enter your athletes in for this meet, they should be prepared to compete in those events all the way to the State Championship, if theyso advance. Coaches, if you are not prepared to do this (or your athlete is not prepared) then don't enter them ... it only takes away the position from another athlete in our region.



National Federation rules will be followed.
Coaches, it is your responsibility to inform your athletes of the rules prior to the competition. The "Jury of Appeals" will be: Coaches James Davis-(BS), Eric Askew-( Gaff), Jeff Johns (Dorm) and GloverSmiley (Spart).

All uniforms must comply with the National Federation rules.

All team members who are not competing or warming up for their event should stay out of the infield. Coaches, please help us with this matter. This will be strictly enforced.

Athletes can be listed in up to 5 events- 3 individual events and 2 relays. However, once they have competed in four events they are finished for the day. If they compete in the fifth event, they will be DQ (or if it's a relay, the entire relay will be DQ).

All athletes in running events must "check-in" with the Clerk of Course prior to their event. If not, they will be scratched from the event. Please tell your athletes to listen to the calls and report promptly to the infield.
