AWARDS TO FOLLOW AT CONCLUSION OF LAST EVENT
4.2 events will follow the set schedule, if by some chance the meet gets behind we will do our best to move as quickly as possible. If the meet gets ahead by more than 30 minutes a short recess will be called to allow the meet to get back on schedule. Make sure your athletes are aware of the order and are listening for their events to be called as they could possibly be ahead or behind schedule by varying margins. Missed running events will not be made up. Missed non-running events will only be made up due to the event being missed on account of schedule conflict(s) due to other event(s) being held concurrent with the missed event and will be done so on a case by case basis.
