Please read this and check out the lane assignments. Coaches At this time if you go to http://www.aia365.com/athletics/brackets.php you can see the lane assignments for Wednesday's 5A1 and 5A2 state meet. You can also see the performance lists for the 4A. The 5A2 4x100 is not listed. When we merged the two state meets it totally blended four events. We caught three of those; but this morning I just realized that the 4x100 (5A2) was blended as well. 1- Advancement: When there are two heats; the top two finishers and then the next fastest five will qualify for finals. When there are three or four heats, then the winner plus next six or five fastest will qualify for finals. 2- Throwing implements. This has been an issue for some 4A schools; especially the discus. When the 4A and 5A were combined; implements were provided. IF there is a special one that your athlete uses, that we don't have; then it can be weighed and measured and goes on the rack. Anyone can use it. We have about 15 different discus and shots that are used only for state and the Chandler Rotary meet. 3- NT, ND, NH are outside qualifiers for the 5A. They are seeded into the outside lanes, first flights or first heat. When you see a mark that is slower than an athlete of yours; remember they were probably a region champion. 4- Distance runs. We will run one heat in the 1600 and 3200. We did split the 800 if the numbers were greater than 18. 5- Team camps. Reminder that all team camps are to be on the east side of the stadium. There will be port-a-johns on that side of the field. Warm ups are to be done on the field directly to the south of the track. Please remind your athletes that unfortunately NOT everyone is honest. Keep ALL valuables secured and with a teammate. Do NOT leave anything of value unattended. Every year I see team camps totally empty with textbooks (no one wants them) ipods, shoes, etc. A dishonest person will walk by, and swoop up a back pack,walk away with it rifle through it taking all valuables, and then dump the back pack somewhere else.
