Warm ups - if provided a team jacket, please wear with black pants. If not, please wear only red, white, black, or gray warm up clothes.


Clerking - Be aware of the order of events. You should memorize the dual meet order.  However, invitationals will have varying schedules - we will always post the schedule at our team tent.  It's up to you to know your event, when to warm up, and when to check-in (get clerked).

Relays - If more than one relay members wears a visible undergarment, all must be the same, solid color.  Take and return your baton from the baton bag.  If relay cards are required, be sure you have your completed card and bring it to clerking. 4x100, be sure you have chalk.  Mark your steps asap, after clerking.  


Field Events  - Once the team warm up has completed, inspect your event area.

Long Jump   Mark your steps asap.  Its your responsibility to know your approach distance.
Pole Vault     We will always have measuring tapes and chalk to do so.
High Jump Please be sure to return our equipment to its proper place.  

Tent - The tent is like our "bench." Although we welcome the support of our friends and family, the tent should be a place for OUR TEAM to relax, stretch, stay dry and communicate with coaches.

Support - Weather permitting, we expect all Trojan Track & Field athletes to support one another.  If you're not preparing for you next event, you should be out of the tent supporting your teammates.  

EVERYONE STAYS UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE FINAL EVENT!!!

Food - A successful track meet starts with a healthy breakfast!  Fuel your body for top performance. Bring a healthy lunch and snacks to all meets.  Hydration is key.  Make sure you're properly hydrated before you arrive to the meet. Bring at least one water bottle with you.

Track Bag - We recommend having two bags: A large duffle bag with extra clothes, food, toilet paper or tissues, first aid kit, garbage bag (in case of rain), and homework; and a smaller bag with competition shoes.
