U.S. Bank, Les Schwab Tires and the Utah High School Activities Association are pleased to
host the 2009 State Track & Field Championships on Friday & Saturday, May 15 & 16, 2009
at Clarence Robison Track & Field Stadium on the campus of Brigham Young University in
Provo, Utah. The following information should be read and followed carefully.

Entries
Subject to rule 4-2, each school will be allowed to enter all contestants who have
qualified either by place at their region meet or by standard at a sanctioned state
qualifying meet (region meets are sanctioned state qualifying meets). A school may
enter only one qualified relay team in each of the relay events. A competitor shall not
compete in more than four events, including relays. A contestant shall not be entered
in more than four events, excluding relays. (NFHS Track & Field Rules Book 4-2)
Individual schools are responsible to enter their own contestants. Regions do not
submit entries. The entry for this meet will be accomplished through the Runnercard
web-site at www.runnercard.com. Access codes to be able to enter the meet were
faxed to all schools on May 7.

A contestant is entered in the state meet when an official entry has been submitted
by the coach and verified by the UHSAA. This means that region meets are nondeclaratory.

Entries must include the qualifying mark to be valid. Only a valid qualifying
mark should be submitted. When entering contestants, the name of the qualifying meet
and date the mark was achieved are to be entered in the appropriate boxes. If the
qualification is by place at region enter the name of the region and the place (for
example Region 8, 3rd). If a contestant qualified by place at the region meet, their valid
qualifying mark is the one they achieved in winning that place at the region meet. If
the contestant qualified by standard, their valid qualifying mark is the one they achieved
in meeting the standard at a sanctioned state qualifying meet.

Entries will be closed at noon on Monday, May 11. A link to all entries with
qualifying marks will be posted on the state meet link on the BYU site:
http://www.byutrack.com/various/Special/Meet_Info/2008-9/State/State09.htm or
http://track.byu.edu the site may also be accessed through either the boys’ or girls’
track and field pages on the UHSAA web-site at www.uhsaa.org
Instructions for entering contestants may be accessed at:

Entry Verification
Coaches should carefully inspect the list of entries. Qualifying marks may be
challenged until 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12.

Team Packets and Check-in
Team packets will be available at the team check-in table set up in the southwest corner
of the parking lot (45) across the street north of the track facility and immediately south
of the football stadium. Packets will include the number of tickets for athletes entered
in the meet only. Tan tickets will be used for athlete admission on Friday and orange
tickets will be used for athlete admission on Saturday. Coaches will be admitted with
their UHSAA pass through the athletes’ entrance located on the fence on the north side
of the track facility.

Athlete Check-in
All contestants shall check-in at the bull pen for their events upon the first call for that
event. No preliminary check-in is required. Competitors will be escorted from the bull
pen to their events. If a competitor in a field event needs to be excused to compete in a
running event, permission from the field event judge must be obtained. A competitor
thus excused must return in a reasonable time. The games committee may impose time
limits for return. It is recommended that competitors in conflicting field and running
events use a proxy to check in at the bull pen and obtain hip numbers. When it is time
to run, the competitor must still get permission from the field event judge to leave the
field event competition and compete in the running event.

Trials and Finals Qualification
Trials will be held in the following running events: 100MH, 110MH and 300MH;
100M, 200M and 400M dashes; 3A,4A,5A 4x100M, 4A & 5A 4x400M relays & 
4A & 5A medley relays. The nine (9) fastest times will advance to the finals in each of these
events. Any necessary run-offs will be scheduled by the games committee. In the shot
put, discus, javelin and long jump the top nine performers in the trials will qualify
for the finals. Finals only will be held in the 800M, 1600M, 3200M, High Jump, Pole
Vault, all 1A & 2A relays and 3A Medley relay. In the 1A & 2A relays and 3A
Medley relay if the number of entrants exceeds the number of lanes the final will be run
in sections. Places will be determined by time from both sections.

Pole Vault
The pole vault will be a team scoring event in the boys’ 2A and 5A classifications only.
The pole vault is a coeducational event. Therefore females may compete with males
and any team points scored will accrue to the boys’ team.

Bus Parking and Team Drop Off
Bus parking is in lot 48 south of the football stadium and overflow in lot 45 west of the football
stadium. Busses are to unload in these parking lots. Busses are not to drop off
teams or equipment on any road and are not to block traffic ways within parking lots to unload or park.  
Check-in is in lot 48, which is immediately across the street  from the entrance for both athletes and equipment.

Implement Weigh-in and Inspection
The weigh-in and inspection station is located under the bull pen tent. Following
weigh-in and inspection all legal implements will be marked and returned. Illegal
implements will be impounded until the conclusion of the event. The weigh-in and
inspection station will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Track Composition and Spike Requirements
The BYU track and field stadium is a world class facility, constructed with a state of
the art Mondo Super X surface. In addition to the track, the high jump, pole vault,
long jump, and javelin runways are the Mondo surface. Only pyramid spikes no
longer than 9 mm will be allowed on surfaced areas. Replacement spikes will not be
available at the bull pen. The Discus and Shot Put rings are concrete.

Awards
In individual events the top six place-winners will be awarded medals. For relays the
four members of the 1st place relay teams will receive medals. Trophies will be
awarded to the first and second place boys and girls teams in each classification.
Medals will be presented at the awards stand following finals in each event. Some of
the medals from Friday’s finals will be awarded on Saturday. Academic All-state
awards will be presented during the mid-day break.

Spectator Admission
Admission prices are $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for students each day. Spectators will
be admitted through the west gate. UHSAA pass holders will be admitted through the
athletes’ entrance on the north side of the facility.

Coaches’ Verification
Rule 3-4-8 states, “Prior to the meet, the referee shall, either by a meeting or written
communication, address the following with all head coaches and team captains:
a. All team members are expected to exhibit good sporting conduct.
b. The head coach shall verify verbally, or in writing, that all of his/her competitors
are legally equipped (uniform, equipment, and no jewelry) in compliance with these
rules.
c. Any special circumstances, procedures and information pertaining to the meet.”
This information is the written communication to the coaches and captains. The act of
entering contestants into the meet through the Runnercard system is considered to be a
coach’s verification in accordance with item “b” above.
Coaches, please review rule 4 Competitors and Competition with your
student athletes prior to the meet. Particular attention to section 3
regarding the uniform is highly recommended as it will be enforced as
written at the state meet. It is the responsibility of the coach and their competitor
to make sure competitors compete in a legal uniform. Meet officials may warn but are
neither responsible nor required to warn of uniform violations prior to disqualification
of a competitor from an event.
