MEET DAY EXPECTATIONS

1. TRACK PACK! Remember your “Track Pack” for meets. Pack your gear the night before and put it next to the door so you remember.

2. ARRIVE EARLY! Remember to arrive ONE HOUR prior to when your event starts!  This is particularly important if you are running late and your parent(s) / guardian(s) must drive you to the meet. Proper bearings and warm up are essential before you race in your event.

3.  TEAM CAMP!  When we arrive at the meet make sure we find our team camp spot!  This can be very confusing at an indoor meet.  This gives us all a chance to CHECK IN, GET BIB NUMBERS, and GET PROPERLY PREPARED FOR THE MEET.

4. REMEMBER WARRIORS CODE OF CONDUCT while at the meet.  You are not just representing yourself as an athlete, you are also representing your teammates, yours school, and your community. BE PROFESSIONAL!

5. YOUR EVENTS ARE YOUR RESPONSITIBILTY! 
. WARM-UP:  It is important to know your exact race time, so you can begin your warm up at the correct time.  Your warm up should begin about 40 minutes before your race with a steady jog (15 minutes); followed with your basic drills, dynamic stretches, and then end with strides out from the starting line. 
. RACE:  It is your individual race, but you are still running as a team.  Your effort, will, heart, and work ethic for your event helps the overall team.  Give it your all, have fun, and go hard until the finish!
REMEMBER: “Do Not Diminish – Sprint to The Finish”   
. COOLDOWN: The cool down is very important after you race.  Try and do a light 10-minute jog and stretch out after your race. 

6. SUPPORT!  If you are not racing you need to be there for your teammates.  Finish your cooldown, get a light snack, get your fluids, and get out and cheer on your team.
PLEASE NO CELL PHONES DURING THE MEET

7. CLEAN UP! Remember that we are guest at these meets.  So, we leave our team camp area cleaner then when we left it.  For every trash found by a coach an “extra fitness exercise” will be given the following day in practice.
