Any athlete, parent or coach not adhering to the proper code of conduct will be removed from the facility and will not be allowed to compete at this meet or any future meets at this facility. Thank you for displaying proper conduct as we are guests of the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Bureau and we do not want to lose our privilege to enjoy this beautiful new track. Proper conduct includes not leaving your trash around the facility. Thank you.

MEET SCHEDULE

The meet schedule is below. This schedule is based on receiving full entries in each event. Because this is a first time event we do not know if we will get full entries. We will know on January 6th and may revise the schedule at that time which could include collapsing the meet from two days to one day. If we do change from two days to one the order of the events will remain the same. You will be notified of a schedule change.

The meet will be conducted on a rolling schedule. It is up to each athlete to know when their event is taking place. The clerk in Hall 4 will have a sound system and will call for each group to report for hipping. If you miss your event there will not be another opportunity to compete in that event. Field event athletes also need to report to the clerk and be escorted onto the field for their event. Field event athletes need to report to the clerk at least 30 minutes before their event.

DIVISIONS

  • High School
  • Open/Masters- ages 19-100+. Athletes in this division will compete together in heats based on seedtimes with the exception of the hurdles where there are different heights for different ages/sex. Awards will be given based on ten year age brackets.
