Awards - We will award medals to the Top 3 in each event to High School Runners Only. We only ordered enough medals for the Top 3 at the Meet of Champions. We will plan to accommodate younger athletes in the future.

Young Athletes - We are combining fields as stated above. Please know that we will have young athletes mixed in with HS and Adults. Track etiquette and rules still apply. We will not break out races by OPEN, HS, or MS - Athletes will be in heats by time. PLEASE be aware of your heat and flight to avoid missing your race.

How we will contest Shot, Discus, Hammer
This year, the throwing events will be hosted off-site at Overland High School. We will also host a Hammer Throw showcase event for experienced athletes interested in competing on Friday night (the night before the main events).

All athletes will receive 3 attempts, and the top 9 from the Champs flight will receive an additional 3 attempts for the finals. Time schedule + heat sheets for Friday and Saturday will come by 5pm Thursday.
