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.
MIXED Shuttle Hurdle
We have moved this to the 1st race to speed up the schedule.
1st runner Girl will start 1st at the finish line. They will have a 100m hurdles setup but they run all the way to the 110 mark so the boys can start his race. Then Boy 2nd runner runs to finish line then Girl #3 will run her 100 meter hurdles all the way to the 110 mark then the 4th runner bot will finish. (The girls hurdles will be setup at 100 meter marks they just run an extra 10 meters at the end of their race)
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 marks which are blue.
Warrior 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 area which is blue on our track. 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 area which is blue.
4x100
Traditional 4x100m exchange zones are gold.
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 marks which are blue.
Sprint Medley (100-100-200-400)
1st 2 exchanges will be made in traditional 4x100 exchange zones which are gold. Your 3rd runner (200m) will handoff to the 400m runner in traditional 4x400m exchanges which are blue.
4x200m Relay
Our track is marked for this race. All exchanges will be made in red handoff zones except for the last exchange zone which will be done in the yellow 4x100 exchange zone. Each team will remain in their lane the whole race. Final in yellow.
4x800m Relay
We will use an 800m start where each athlete will begin their race in their lane until they reach the 800m fall line which will be marked by cones and coaches. After your 1st runner passes the fall line they may cut in as long as they do not impede another runner. Every other handoff will be made in the traditional 4x400m area which is blue.
4x400m MIXED Relay
We will use a 3-turn stagger for this event. Our track is marked for the 3 turn stagger by blue marks. The 1st runner will exchange in their blue zone which is staggered after the 1st handoff occurs the 2nd runner MUST stay in his or her lane until they reach the fall line (same as 800m fall line) this will be marked by cones and coaches. The 3rd and 4th handoff will occur in traditional 4x400m relay zones marked blue on our track.
All field events
We will record each of your athletes best marks and add the distance or height together to create a combined overall distance or height. Example your athlete may have the #1 mark but if his partner's mark is not enough to beat the combination of another TEAM total then he or she will not win the event. It is a relay, which means that the best mark from both competitors will be added together.
