Thank you so much for your interest in being part of the 51st Annual Mt. SAC Relays. We received more than 8000 entries this year, and, of course, due to the quality of the athletes and teams participating and the limits of time, not everyone can be accepted into the meet.
We have posted confirmations a bit differently this year. This is an Excel file. We feel this will be much easier for both coaches and athletes. You may download the file and then sort it to look at a single event or only your entries.
If you feel there has been an error in the seeding, please email our high school director at torourke@emuhsd.k12.ca.us ; however, please only reference your athlete and his or her verifiable performances this year—do not compare your athlete to another athlete that has been placed into the meet.
Only official requests from the head coach will receive a response—parents or private coaches will not receive a response.
Alternates
Alternates have been listed in the order they will be placed into the meet if there are scratches. Please continue to check this confirmation list each day on our web site to see which alternates have been moved into the meet.
If there is a scratch in an Invitational Section of an event, the best athlete will be moved up from the Seeded Section, then, the best athlete from the Open Section will be moved into the Seeded Section, and, finally, the first alternate will be moved into the Open Section.
There are only alternates for the lane races on the track. We have purposely placed large numbers in the distance races and the field events because we know there will be scratches in those events, so there are no alternates in the distance races or field events.
There will be no new alternates added to the meet. If an athlete was not officially entered by the April 1 deadline, they will not be added.
Alternates may come to the meet on Saturday and report to the clerk of the course 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of his or her event. If there are additional scratches or an entered athlete does not report, the alternates will be placed in the order listed in the confirmations.
Scratches
All of the athletes entered are now officially entered into the meet, and you are expected to pay the full entry fee based on these confirmations.
If you do have a scratch of a relay team or individual, please email the meet director at torourke@emuhsd.k12.ca.us as soon as possible so the alternate can be notified.
If an athlete does not report to the clerk of the course 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of his or her event, the athlete will be scratched and the first alternate will be placed in the event.
Adds
There will be no additional adds in any events. If there is a scratch in a lane race, the first alternate will be moved into that spot.
Entry Fees
All of the athletes entered are now officially in the meet, and you are expected to pay the full entry fee based on these confirmations.
Entry fees are $11 per athlete, per event, and $33 per relay team. If we have not received your entry fee check prior to the meet, you will be expected to pay your entry fees in full before you pick up your packet and your athletes are allowed into the meet.
Clerk of the Course - Report 30 Minutes or be Scratched
All athletes in track races MUST report to the clerk of the course at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start of his or her race. If an athlete has not reported at least 30 minutes prior to the start time, the athlete will be scratched and the first alternate will be placed in the event.
4 X 400 Relays
Please note that with our new time schedule, the Inv and Seeded sections of the 4 x 400 relays will be completed by 9:45 PM; however, the Open Sections of the 4 x 400 relays will be run from 9:45 PM to 11:00 PM.
If you do not want your team to compete at that late hour, please email your scratch to the meet director ASAP at torourke@emuhsd.k12.ca.us and you will not be charged for that entry fee.
Also, we will run the Inv and Seeded sections of the 4 x 400 relays with 9 teams all running in lanes; however, the open sections will be run with 12-16 teams using alleys at the start.
