BYU Indoor Invitational

Please read all instructions: Registration Link
Registration - The impact of legal liabilities and litigation has reached into our event. All registration must be completed by the parents of each participant. The waiver must be agreed-to and payment must be made at the time of registration. Registration will only be accepted online. There will be no registration at the meet! If you do not pre-register online before the meet, you will not be able to compete! We apologize for the inconvenience. Such are the results of the legal world that we now live in.
Click on the Register link above for Registration.   Registration will close promptly on Friday at 8:00 a.m. MST.  Registration is $4 per event and $16 per relay team. Registration is only available on-line. Registration fees must be paid when you register.  There will be no registration at the meet! We apologize for the inconvenience.
Spikes - Spikes are permitted on the track.  Spikes must be 1/4" or less in length, pyramids only, no needles, no christmas trees. 
Awards - Medals will be given to the top 3 finishers in each event.  T-shirts will be given to the top 6 finishers in each event.  Medals will be given to the top team in the relays.  T-shirts will be given to the top 3 teams in each relay.  The outstanding Athlete of the Meet awards will be presented to the top male and female, track and field athletes.
Merchandise - We have been asked to bring back a meet shirt, in addition to the award shirts.  And, we have added a couple of nice Windbreaker Jackets.  Sizes are S to XL.  Purchase a shirt or jacket online to guarantee your size and delivery at the meet.  Orders must be placed by midnight on the 12th.  Orders placed after that time are not guaranteed to be available at the meet.  Make your purchase when you register for the meet.  Just bring your receipt and collect your shirt or jacket at the Merchandise tent at the meet!
Dark Grey Jacket
$40
Meet Shirt
$20
White Camo Jacket
$40
Participation - Athletes may participate in up to 4 individual events.  Relay team members must be from the same school/club.  Relay records can not be set by a club, as clubs are essentially an all-star team.  You can break the record, but you can not set it for the future.
Arrival - All athletes must collect their wrist band when they arrive at the fieldhouse.  Please arrive early to minimize the lines.  Packet collection for a full team would best be done on Friday.
Reporting for events - Athletes must check-in early for their event prior to seeding. You can mark your name at any time during the meet up until the sheet is removed for seeding.  This can be done for the full meet when you arrive in the annex.  Athletes that do not mark their name as present on the check-in sheets in the bullpen will be scratched in the seeding process.  Athletes that do not report when called will also be scratched.  Please arrive early and mark your name, then report for your event when you are called.  Events will be seeded after check-in so that we can reduce the number of empty lanes.  If you are scratched for not checking in, you will not be allowed to compete.  Please check in!
Rules - High School Rules will be fully enforced.  Certified officials will be at the meet.  Athletes that commit lane violations or fouls will be disqualified.
Admission - Admission for spectators is only $6 for adults and non-participating students each day.
Awards Ceremonies - Awards Ceremonies will be held immediately following each event.  Please have your athletes available!
Records - A list of the track records is posted; our thanks to Roger Buhrley.
Coach's Mile - We have received requests to hold a Mile for the coaches.  If there is sufficient interest, we will hold a single co-ed race.  There must be at least 4 participants on the starting line for us to hold the race.  Recruit your friends!
Vertical Jumps - Height progressions:
Girl's Pole Vault: 1.83m (6-00) start, .15m (~6") progression
Boy's Pole Vault: 2.44m (8-00) start, .15m (~6") progression
Girl's High Jump: 1.23m (4-0.50) start, .05m (~2") progression
Boy's High Jump: 1.58m (5-2.25) start, .05m (~2") progression
Map - A map to the Smith Fieldhouse on the BYU campus is available here.  Map
Coaches Meeting - We will hold a quick coach's meeting at 7:45 am on Saturday at the finish line.  Please be in attendance.  If you can not attend, please send a representative.  We will discuss rules and request the support of everyone in keeping competition areas clear and safe.
Hip Numbers - Please advise your athletes that they should dispose of their hip numbers appropriately after their race.  Hip numbers that are placed on anything other than in the garbage will incur a $50 fine.  We use "permanent" adhesive on the hip numbers to help them stay on each athlete until the end of the race.  If a number is placed on the wall, a chair, a post, a fence, a hurdle, anywhere, in a short time, it is permanent.  It then requires a power washer or sand blaster to remove the number.  It is not cute to place your hip number on anything, even the track! Please advise your athletes that they should dispose of hip numbers in the garbage.  We gratefully appreciate your support in this matter!
Protocols -
Wrist band distribution at the meet is one of our biggest challenges each year. We request that each coach, or a representative, help with the process, which will make it much simpler for everyone. Please follow these steps as a team or organization:
1. Please arrive, or have a representative arrive, on Friday after 1:00 pm to process wrist-band collection for all of your athletes.  If you are not able to have someone arrive on Friday, then you will have to fight the crowd on Saturday morning.  Doors will open 90 minutes before the first scheduled event.  It will be much easier to process your team as a group rather than as individuals.
2. Please remind your athletes that they will need their wristband to enter the facility each day, both Friday and Saturday. If you compete on both days, keep your wristband on from Friday, you will not get a new one.
3. Please request your athletes to be tidy and pickup after themselves at the meet.  Our custodial costs are one of our largest expenses each year due to the large cleanup job after each day.
Wrist-band collection will take place at the east doors, where we will process teams or individual athletes and distribute the wristbands.  Entrance to the facility for participants, coaches and spectators is at the middle doors at the east end of the parking lot.  All other doors will remain locked.
Please caution your athletes to avoid competition areas during warm-up and between competitions.  Athletes must report when they are called.  Please instruct your athletes to pay attention to the order of events and be ready to report when they are called, which will usually be one or two events before their scheduled event.  Athletes that do not have their name marked on the list when the sheet is processed will be scratched.  Each sheet will be processed approximately 15 minutes before athletes are called to report.  We have too many races to run with empty lanes.  Each event will be seeded after the last call, then the scratches will be processed.  Once an athlete reports, you must stay in the clerking area until your race.  While the fieldhouse is not the ideal spectator facility, the track surface is world-class.  We will have two sets of bleachers in addition to 200 chairs.  We also have 3 video cameras that will display the back-stretch, far curve, and homestretch to help display the races.  We will have a great athletes and a great meet!
Schedule: Times are approximate  -it is not a set schedule. Arrive early.
