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.

MEET SCHEDULE

 

The meet schedule below is a three day meet based on getting full

fields per event per gender per division. While we anticipate getting full fields

because this is a first time event for the West Coast if we do not get full

fields by December 1st we will adjust the schedule and reduce the

meet to two days. The order of events will remain the same regardless of if the

meet is three days or two.

 

The meet will be conducted on a rolling schedule which is below.

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.
