IMPORTANT "CLASSIC" INFORMATION
Athletes Check-in For All Track Events:
Athletes must be at the clerk of the course 30 min. prior to start of their event or they will be scratched. All athletes must remain in the bullpen and will not be permitted to leave the clerk area. No other check in is required. Keep in mind that the meet is subject to a rolling time schedule.
Scratches/Additions:

Field Events:

Facilities: NOTE-
The discus will NOT, as previously stated, be held at Del Mar High School. THE DISCUS WILL BE AT SILVER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL. Several outstanding weight coaches have noted that this is probably the best discus facility in the south bay. A shuttle bus will be provided, with trips every 45 minutes most of the day. A schedule will be in your packet. You may drive if you wish. See the notice on the home page.
San Jose City College's world-class Mondo track and runway facilities make the use of 1/4" or less spikes a necessity. ATHLETES WITH SPIKES THAT ARE TOO LONG WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE. Worn-down longer spikes also will not be allowed. Spikes will be checked at the starting line and at the field event. SPIKES WILL BE SOLD AT THE MEET.
Starting Heights:
Starting heights will be determined after the fields for the high jump and pole vault have been selected. In the throws and long and triple jumps, the fields will be broken down into flights. Each athlete will get 4 attempts. We will measure the first fair mark for each athlete. Subsequent attempts will be measured only if they are equal to or further than the predetermined minimum mark.
Time Limit:
The one-minute limit in the field events, one-and-a-half minutes in the pole vault, will be strictly enforced. Only exceptions are obtaining an official's permission to participate in another event and returning within ten minutes of completion of that event.
Starts:
The 800, 1600, 3200 and DMR will be run with a one-turn stagger. Athletes may cut to the pole at the beginning of the backstretch. The starter will explain this at racetime. The 4x400 Relay will be run with a three-turn stagger. Second leg may cut to the pole at the beginning of the backstretch.
Dressing Facilities:
Athletes must be dressed to compete and will be admitted with a coach or a school official only. Restroom facilities will be available. No showers will be available.

All participants must remain in the stands or grass area, which is located at the north end of the stadium, during the meet. Warm-up area will be on the grass field outside the stadium (softball field). No warm up will be permitted on the infield or track.
Clerk Of The Course:
The Clerk of the Course is located at the west end of the track, near the 100-meter starting line. All track athletes must be in the clerk area 30 minutes before the event and stay in the bullpen. This is when races will be seeded. All athletes not at the clerk of the course at this time will be scratched.
