The Athlete Pass gate will be located on Red Mountain Way on the west side of the stadium. No outside food will be allowed into the stadium.

The Red Mountain Track Booster Club, which puts several thousands of dollars into the meet, makes their money back from advertisement sales and concessions. There will be numerous vendors available in the stadium. ENTRY LIMITS. Each team is guaranteed 5 athletes per event, and 1 relay team Entries per event will be closely monitored. All entries for the Elite session must be times from this year (FAT preferred). Any entries without a time will result in NT for that athlete and an automatic placement in the Seeded session.

Adult admission will be $5.00, while students and seniors (55+) will be $2.00. All current military members and veterans are free of charge. The Elite Long and Triple Jump events will be contested in the Seeded session so that Elite Jumpers participating in other Elite events will not be required to do multiple events at the same time. We will throw javelin this year. The Seeded Long Jump will begin on the north runway to maximize facility availability.

MEET DIRECTOR Brent Krieg bckrieg@mpsaz.org RMHS Head Girls Coach Red Mountain High School 7301 E Brown Rd Mesa, AZ School: (480) FAX (480) FORMAT: There will be TWO sessions. The morning session will be referred to as the Seeded session and will consist of roughly 32 athletes per event. Heat/Flight event winners will receive awards. The Thursday afternoon/early evening session will be referred to as the Elite session and will be limited to 16 athletes (athlete count does not include relays). It is possible for an athlete to compete in the Seeded session in one event, and compete in the Elite session in a different event. Each event will be seeded so that the top 12 athletes in each individual lane race will automatically qualify for the Elite session. The top four results from the Seeded session will qualify for the Elite session in laned races, throws, and horizontal jumps. In individual distance races, the top 24 athletes will qualify for the Elite session. All other athletes will compete in the Seeded session heats. Distance athletes who run in the Seeded session WILL NOT qualify for the Elite session. SEEDING The Seeded session will be seeded based on the number of heats (a maximum of 11 based on the total number of entries possible). The fastest number of athletes (eleven at most) that matches the number of heats will be seeded in the best lane of each of the heats so that they have the best opportunity to win their heat. The slowest of the heats will be run first all the way to the fastest heat. The Elite session will be seeded so that the fastest eight runners will be in the faster heat. The slower heat will run first and the faster heat will run second. The four athletes from the Seeded session will be seeded according to their morning times in comparison with the seeding times of the twelve who were automatically taken to finals. NUMBER OF ENTRIES PER SCHOOL Each school will be allowed five (5) entrees in each individual event. Each school will be allowed one (1) entry in each of the relays.
