Bella Vista Bronco Invitational Meet Info: April 14, 2018

Posted on April 13, 2018 by riotrackxc

The Bronco Invitational will be a rolling start format. We have added estimates of starts to the order of events below but these can change significantly, especially as the meet progresses. This will be an all-day event, cheer on your fellow teammates and bring some homework! We provide estimates to try and help you gauge inviting friends and family to watch but things can change and you don’t want to miss your event.

All athletes should check in with the “Clerk of the Course” for their races when called to do so. The Clerk of the Course is located at the northwest corner of the track. Athletes in running events must contact the Clerk of the Course to receive lane assignments. The Clerk of the Course will assign you a “hip number” when you check in for your race. The hip number should be worn on the left side of your shorts. Please do not obscure your hip number by having your singlet outside of your shorts.

Field Event Check-in: Athletes should check in with the official in the field event area prior to the start of the division they are competing in.
