We will follow all UIL rules on all events.  If there is a false start, the runner will be disqualified.  

All field events will take one attempt at a time.  If you are in a heighted event (Pole Vault and High Jump) they need to jump the heighted event first.  Please mark any athletes that do a heighted event and another event and we will try to stagger them so they will have time to go between the two events. Each School is assigned 1 field event and should supply 2 workers for the field event. 

Any relay alternates that run in the Meet of Champions cannot have run three open events in the Zone meet. Please treat this meet and the Meet of Champions like a district prelims and district finals with regard to the events and event numbers. Its one big track meet that takes two weeks to run.

There are to be NO camps on the football field. It is to be used as a warm-up area only.  All camps will be in the visitor bleachers.  There is to be NO food, drinks, gum, or sunflower seeds on the football field.  Also, please tell your athletes that at no time are they to ever climb over the fence to get to the track; this could lead to participant disqualification.  

All teams must input all of the athletes on TXMilesplit.com  You will need to search for 2023 Big 5 Meet of Champions.  The window to enter your athletes closes on Monday April 3,2023  @ 9:00 am.  You must have all relay participants listed as well as relay alternates.  Any relay alternate must not have 3 other running events.  If they run three events in the zone meet, they cannot run as an alternate in the Meet of Champions.

If you have any questions feel free to email or call/text Coach Hall at school or on his cell.  

Thank you,
