No other Ages will be allowed to compete in this meet. Overage Athletes
currently in Grade 7 will be allowed to compete for their school but will
not be eligible to break records.
Entries
Athletes may only enter events in their own age category. Where an event is
not offered they may enter in the next higher category. There is no
provision for athletes to compete in events below their age division.
400m
The 400m is for 1995 athletes only. Younger athletes will not be allowed to
enter.
Limited entries
Due to time constraints the number of entries to the 100m will be
limited again this year. A maximum of 6 athletes per school per Age Division will be allowed.
There is a limit of 2 relay teams per age group per school.
Simultaneous Events
Track events will not be delayed. Check in at your field event and your
track event. Then return to your field event and continue competing. Have
someone from your team or family monitor the progress of the races and then
come back and get you in time for your race. After your race, return
immediately to your field event. If you return before the end of a round,
you may compete in that round. If the next round has started, missed
attempts from the previous round(s) will not be made up. If the event is
over, the event is over.
Seeding
There is no seeding in the preliminary rounds of the sprint events. All lane
assignments are random. We will attempt to ensure all the athletes from one
school do not run in the same heat. The volume of entries in each division
will ultimately determine our ability to do that. There is seeding in the
distance events where more than one heat is necessary. Seed times should be
from races run this season.
Relays
The 4 x 200 Mixed Age relays are to have at least one athlete from each age
from 1995 down to 1997. There will be no Medley relay for
grades 3 and 4. There will be no mixed gender relay teams allowed. Clubs
will be allowed to run exhibition teams in the preliminary round of the 4 x
100. Only School teams will advance to the finals.
Correct Technique
For their own safety, it is strongly recommended that athletes know the
correct technique before entering technically complex events like the field
events or hurdles.
Competitor Numbers
Each Athlete will be issued a competitor number. In track events finishing
in lanes the numbers must be worn on the back. For track events not
finishing in lanes and field events, numbers must be worn on the front.
Relays will be run without competitor numbers. It is assumed that team
members will be wearing team shirts.
Track Event Check in
Athletes in track events will be marshaled from the South end of the track.
When the event is called send (do not accompany) your athlete to the
marshaling area. Do not send them early, as they will be sent away. They
should have their number on and be warmed up and ready to run. Sweats can be
worn until the Starter gives the command “Sweats off”. After your race
return immediately to claim your clothing.

Entries
This year, all entries for Kajaks hosted meets, including the BC
Elementary Track & Field Championships will be done online through
DirectAthletics. The DirectAthletics entry system is easy to use and will
result in fewer errors and issues during the meet. If you do not have a
DirectAthletics account you must first create an account and then follow
these simple to use instructions to complete your entries. Additional
instructions and information are available on the site.
How to Submit Entries - Track & Field
STEP 1 - ACCESSING YOUR DIRECTATHLETICS ACCOUNT
Each coach must have a DirectAthletics username and password for
his/her team. If you don't know your username and password, click
HERE. You will use the same account to enter all meets run through
DirectAthletics.
**NOTE ABOUT MEN'S AND WOMEN'S ACCOUNTS: You control only one gender
at time, so you will complete the below steps for your Men, and then
switch to your Women's team and repeat the process (or vice versa). The
team you are controlling is listed on the blue navigation bar across the
top of your account, for example:
Sport: Track & Field Team: Guilford (M)
This indicates that you are controlling the Guilford MEN'S team
(M=MEN). To switch to your Women's team, you would select "Guilford
(W)".
STEP 2--SETTING UP YOUR ONLINE ROSTER

be in the TEAM module)

by clicking the TEAM tab. To add athletes, click the green "Add

box to the left of each athlete(s) and then click the red "Delete
Selected" link or the blue "Edit Selected" link
respectively.
