RE: LAMAR INVITATIONAL TRACK MEET

Enclosed is the general information concerning the 2017 Lamar Invitational Track Meet to be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017. This will be a State Qualifying Meet, but we will not offer pole vault.

Medals will be awarded to the first three places, with ribbons through 8th place and team plaques for 1st and 2nd place for boys and for girls.

Three individuals and 1 relay team may be entered by each school. There will be 3 throws allowed in the shot put and discus with the top 9 throwers to the finals. We will use two discus rings and two shot put rings. We will measure all throws except any throws shorter than the minimum distance line. If all 3 throws are shorter than the minimum distance line then we will measure the longest throw. Weigh-ins for the shot and disc will be in the officials locker room located at the east end of the stadium starting at 8:00 AM. Long jumpers and triple jumpers will each get 3 jumps with the top 9 jumpers advancing to the finals. We will run 2 pits for the long jump and 2 pits for the triple jump. Girls' high jump will start at 4'4" and move up 2" until 5" is reached--then 1" per jump. Boys' high jump will start at 5'4" and move up 2" until 6' is reached--then 1" per jump.
NO POLE VAULT!

Points will be awarded to the first eight places according to the federation rules.

An entry fee of $125.00 per team will be charged. $250.00 if you enter both boys and girls teams. We will charge $15.00 per participant if you have a small team.
