STATE MEET WEEK ITINERARY

Congratulations on qualifying for the IESA State Track & Field meet! Below you will find as
detailed of an itinerary as we are currently able to provide.

PRACTICE: Monday & Tuesday practice from 3:00 - 4:30 pm.

Wednesday & Thursday practice from 3:00 - 4:00 pm.

BUSSING INFORMATION – The only bus the school provides will be for the trip to State
on Friday. Students will need to find a ride home on Friday. We ask that all athletes find
rides to and from the meet on Saturday. This is due to such a spread out schedule of events on
Saturday. Anyone who plans to leave before the meet ends on Friday with a parent, must
stay until the normal school day ends at 2:45 pm. We will have a signout sheet at the team
camp. YOU MUST SIGN OUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

If you are unable to provide your student with transportation home on Friday, please contact
Coach Norman ASAP, and we will help make arrangements.

GENERAL STATE MEET INFORMATION:

T-SHIRT/MERCHANDISE INFORMATION: All pre-orders will be accepted until 11:59 pm.

Monday evening. These will be delivered to coaches upon arrival on Friday at the meet. All
merchandise provided for pre-order can also be purchased at the meet on Friday & Saturday.

TRAFFIC IS A NIGHTMARE! Please plan for at a minimum, 1 hour wait time if you do not
arrive before 7:30 am. Traffic ALWAYS gets extremely backed up and inevitably, kids/parents
who do not leave early enough do not get to their events in time.
 FRIDAY, DAY 1 STATE MEET:

PRE STATE EVENTS

SCHOOL DISMISSAL: STATE QUALIFIERS ONLY: We will be leaving from school at 7:30
am. Please arrive no later than 7:20 am. If any parents would like to cheer on the kids as we
load the bus, we welcome all parents to wish them good luck!

BOB EVANS BREAKFAST: We have a long standing tradition of taking our State Qualifiers to
breakfast the Friday morning of State. We ask that kids bring money for their meals. However,
if money is going to be an issue, please let us know, and we would be happy to help cover that
cost.

PARADE OF ATHLETES: 10:15 am the parade of athletes will take place. At this time, all State
Qualifiers will walk around the track, holding their school’s banner, while cheers from the crowd
and music is played. (One of the coaches favorite moments of State weekend.)
