IMPLEMENT INSPECTION

For throwing events, all implements must be checked and approved by an official before the athlete can check in to the event.  Most implement checks should be done between 11:00AM and 12:00 noon.



EVENT CHECK-IN

  • Runners must check in at the clerking tent when called.  
  • Field athletes must check in at their field events.

Listen carefully to the call for each event by the announcer so the athlete can report to the clerk (running events) or field event official at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.

Athletes will be required to remain in the designated area after check in unless there is an event conflict. Field event competitors who are also in running events must check out with the field event official and check back in on return with the field event official within 10 minutes of the running event completion. Current bar heights will be held for only 10 minutes after the running event. Missed trials may only be taken if the competitor returns before the final round or before the competition ends. In pole vault and high jump, the bar cannot be lowered after the competition begins.



EVENT SEEDING

Seeding for track events: Athletes will report to the clerk of course when their running event is called. Athletes will be expected to run in their lane and heat as directed by the clerk of the course.

Seeding for field events: Field event athletes will report directly to the head field event judge when the field event is called. Athletes will be expected to compete in order and flight as directed by the chief official.
 

COMPETITION BIB NUMBERS

All competitors must wear their assigned bib numbers during competition and on the front on their jerseys only (pole vaulters & high jumpers may wear bib on back of shirt). Bib numbers will be distributed at meet registration. USATF-Niagara club coaches can pick up bibs/packet at the registration tent day of meet only . Lost or forgotten bib numbers will result in a $25.00 replacement fee for each number replaced.
 

COACHES

Only coaches who have completed the USATF background check, SafeSport training, and have an active USATF membership number will be given a wristband.  This allows THAT coach access to the infield/competition area to help athletes get their marks or ask questions.  The coaches need to leave the area prior to competition.  The infield is not a spectator area for coaches.

Any coach or parent in the infield or clerking area may result in the disqualification of their athlete/team.

Any parent or non-2021 USATF coach in any other restricted area may result in the immediate disqualification of their athlete/team.

Wristbands can be picked up at the registration tent on day of meet. A state or government issued ID is required to pick up wristband.

***Coaches/parents who have NOT completed the USATF background check, SafeSport training, or have active USATF memberships WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS to the infield/competition area due to the new National Regulations***
