Delaware High School Invitational 2011

MESSAGE FROM COACH FISCHER

** Coaches - Go to the finish line tables immediately upon arrival for scratches.  After scratches, we will post heats and lane assignments on a table near the finish line.  Athletes will grab their own hip number and put it on their left hip.

** Entry Fees – $150 for girls’ team, $150 for boys’ team – checks made out to the University of Delaware – 25 entries per gender

** Additional entries would be $10 per event entered – No limit per event, except only one entry per gender per school will be allowed in the long jump, triple jump, and all relays - teams will be allowed to scratch down to 25 per gender at the meet

** I have attached an updated schedule.  The fields are large.  We will move ahead if possible.  [both genders - 200m(200+ athletes), 400m(130+), 800m(140+), 1600m(120+),SP(75+)]

** All 200m Athletes MUST COME to the bullpen and remain there to declare that they are running during the GIRLS 800m and remain there for heat and lane assignments OR THEY WILL BE SCRATCHED.  We are trying to run full heats.  The declaration will take place in the bullpen near the finish line.
** Please tell your athletes to discard their hip numbers after their event in the trash cans.
** Events will be on a rolling schedule.
** There will be no concession stand.
** We will score the meet to eight places.  There are awards for the top three places.
