Bib/Chip Information
Our timing company for this meet is CKET and they are using a chip timing system where every athlete is required to wear both a bib on their singlet and a chip tied into their shoelace. Please ensure that chips are secured within their laces. All chips should be returned at the end of the meet. Any chips not returned will have their team charged $25 per missing chip.
Bring Your Own Water!
Due to the number of teams and limited water supply, we will NOT have water available at the finish line and only injury ice is available for athletes. Please plan accordingly.
