RELAY TIPS & REMINDERS Here is a tips and reminders sheet about each relay. We have incorporated this so that no mistakes will be made and so that you can coach your athletes on each relay prior to the event to save time. Our goal is for the meet to be completed before 5pm.I. Shuttle Hurdle We have moved this to the 1st race to speed up the schedule. This is a 4 member race. The 1st and 3rd leg will run at the 400m hurdle height and your 2nd and 4th runner will run the high hurdle height. Each girl competitor will run 100m. Each boy competitor will run a 110m. Each competitor must wait until their team member has crossed the line to begin (chest area reaches the line). Each team will run in one of two lanes.

#1 and #3 runner will begin at the finish line and #2 and #4 runner will begin at start line. 4x1600m Relay We will run this immediately after the Shuttle Hurdle race. Each team of 4 will run 1600m. We will use a fall line start. If it is not a clean start we will blow the gun and re-start. All exchanges will be in traditional 4x400 The Fighting Eagle Medley The 1st 2 legs (200m) will exchange in the 2nd 4x100 handoff area which is gold on our track. The second leg will handoff to the 400m runner in his or her lane using the traditional 4x400m handoff. After your 3rd runner (400m) crosses the finish line after handoff has occurred he or she may cut in as long as they do not impede another runner.

The last handoff will occur on the traditional 4x400m handoff. 4x100Traditional. DMR (1200-400-800-1600)1st runner (1200m) will begin on a fall line start. If it is not a clean start we will blow the gun and re-start. All exchanges will be in traditional 4x400.
