What do you need to know?

Capping athlete participation at 500

Only the first 500 athletes who register will be allowed to compete.  Last year over 750 athletes competed in our meet so don’t delay your registration.  The online registration link will be shut down when we reach our cap.

  • USATF Membership:  Not required but desired
  • Registration
  • Cost
    • $6 per athlete
    • Free for spectators
    • Payment will be collected at time of online registration
  • Seeding:  We will not pre-seed heats.  Best efforts will be made to seed heats the day of the meet so that two athletes from the same club will not be in the same heat.  Last heat in each age group will be the fast heat … to do this we need you to instruct your athlete(s) to let the clerk know they want to be in the fast heat
  • Awards:  Top 6 in each heat / flight will receive a ribbon (given after each heat is completed); participant ribbon to all who place 7th and beyond in each heat
  • Top 3 overall will receive a medal
    • Events with multiple heats per age group will award medals 30-minutes after the event is over (allows time for combination of heat results).  These medals can be picked up by the club coach or a designated club / unattached athlete representative at the finish line (center of track)
  • Results:  Results will be posted within 30-minutes after each event is over and on the PA/USATF website within 2-days after the meet is completed; field event results will be posted after 12:30 pm
  • Meet Records:  See if you can break your age-group event meet record!
  • Snack Bar:  RPAL Express will provide a snack bar with hot meal-deals for breakfast & lunch (school does not allow BBQs to be brought on campus); hot breakfast will be served beginning at 7 am
  • Volunteers:  Our club has been challenged this year in securing a facility to hold practices.  As a result we are starting our season in mid-March consequently we need to request your support.  Please identify 1-3 volunteers from your club who can help out at the meet.  Lunch will be provided to volunteers who work till their event area is completed.  Please contact Melissa Arnold (volunteer coordinator) @ [email protected] to let her know what events you can volunteer at
  • Access to clerking area:  Coaches are encouraged to come with their athletes to the Clerking area for Sub-Bantam and Bantam age groups.  Clerking area is only for running events.  All field events check in at the location of the field event
  • Access to infield:  No coaches on infield except coaches clearly displaying 2010 PA/USATF membership ID cards and assisting Sub-Bantam and Bantam long jumpers setting marks.  Coaches must leave when the event begins
  • Questions:  Contact Maura Kent @ [email protected] or (916) 786-7288
