Frequently Asked Questions
*Cost per event?
$10 entry fee, for all athletes – whether this is 1 event or 4 events.
* Can my child do an event from another age group?
No, they can only compete in events offered to their age group at normal weekly meets.
Some events may be mixed with another age group, but final results will be awarded by age group.
*Does my child have to do 4 events?
No, but the more events they do the more opportunity to achieve PB’s.
*How are medals awarded?
1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each event for each age group will be presented medals on the day.
The following week any athlete that achieves 2,3 or 4 PBs on Champ Day will receive a medal.
Will there be heats and finals?
No. Each event with more than 8+ athletes will be TIMED FINALS.
* What if my athlete only gets 1 PB?
Any PBs achieved on Champ Day receive a certificate the following week.
* Can they compete in an event they haven’t done before?
Yes, however, if they have not got a recorded result previously then they can not earn a PB.
*Can my child do multiple long-distance events?
Yes but we advise against it. They will be tired and this will impact their performance.
*What events do I pick?
We advise 2 track and 2 field but ultimately it is up to the individual athlete. Some pick their favourite events, some are trying for standards or records. Everyone should be aiming for PBs.
* When will the program/timetable be released
The program will be written and released in the week of the event. Events will be scheduled by EVENT BLOCK and not time.
* Is there parent duty?
Yes, parents will have the chance to sign up for duty by time for each event block.
* Can I pick events that will be on earlier in the day?
No, as the program is not written until registrations close and it is dependent on the number of athletes in events.
