2017 Baldwin County Championships
Monday, April 17, 2016 - Gulf Shores Sports Complex
Hosted by Gulf Shores & Fairhope

Facility Mickey Miller Blackwell stadium at 19025 County Road 6. Rubberized track. PYRAMID SPIKES ONLY 1/4 or
SMALLER. Bathrooms available. Timing will be FAT by Kevin Jones.

Admission Admission will be free for K - 12th and $3 for all other spectators. AHSAA cards & teacher passes & perfect attendance passes will be accepted but no special passes (like specific school booster passes). Bring exact change or get there early. Parking is free.

Equipment Starting Blocks will be providedleave yours at home.

Entries & Registration Entries are limited to 8 per school per individual event and 2 per school for relays. However, only a
maximum of three individuals on a team in each event may score. Additionally, each school may only score
one relay. A varsity athlete may enter up to 4 events including relays.
SEED TIMES/DISTANCES: The only seed times will be from MileSplit records from the 2017 season.
ENTRY NOTE: PLEASE dont go crazy with entries for athletes who cant score. The entry limit is very
generous so all of your team is sure to be able to participate but excessive entries will slow the
meet unnecessarily. Maybe consider limiting your JV who cant score to one event?
RELAY NOTE: Relays can score from either heat, but only B teams will be in the first heat and only A
teams will be in the 2nd heat. Your slower team should be in the first heat and your faster team
should be in the 2nd heat. This helps to ensure teams know what they must do to score in a relay.
Registration will be online at http://al.milesplit.com. Go to the meet calendar and find this meet.

Entry Fee Entry will be $200 per school. Checks should be made to FAIRHOPE HIGH SCHOOL and brought to the meet.

Entry Deadline Saturday April 15 by 11:00am CST. No entries will be taken after that time! Heat sheets will be e-mailed or posted by Sunday, April 16. Print these out as they will not be provided at the meet.

Sanctioning The meet will be sanctioned by the AHSAA for the eight schools in Baldwin County

Verification of Entry A printout of your entries will serve as your verification of entry into the meet.

Clerking / Scratches There will be no additions at the meet. One-to-one substitutions will be allowed w/o name changes unless
Kevin Jones wants to change the names and he may require a fee for this.

Awards Trophies/plaques will be awarded to the top two (2) teams for girls and boys. Medals will be awarded for
1st, 2nd, and 3rd for each event and relay. Fourth to eighth places will receive a ribbon sent to the school
later. If one school has more than three individuals or two relay teams in the top 8 they will still only
receive awards for at most 3 individuals and 1 relay so the others will not receive awards you must score
to receive an award.

Schedule of Events
1:15pm - Coachs Meeting: Meet at the finish line. This time will hopefully allow all school employees
to only need a half-day off and will allow the students to attend half the day of school.
1:45pm First field events: Starting field events 30 minutes prior to track events will allow coaches to help athletes get their marks and steps. It will also allow coaches to get athletes settled at the throwing events and still have time to get back to the track.

So immediately after the girls 4x800 the top 3 teams need to go immediately to the award podiums to be announced and receive their awards. Athletes will be called to the awards podiums once. If they are not there in a reasonably quick time after the event is over then they will have to get their award later.
