Ross and Sharon Irwin Meet

Track at sunset
Ross and Sharon Irwin Collegiate Track Meet
MARCH 18, 2023
 
FIELD EVENTS: Each individual throw /jump athlete will receive (4) attempts with no Finals We will laser measure in all of the throwing events. Each horizontal jump will be measured.
 
STARTING HEIGHTS: WOMEN’S Pole Vault 2.14m (7’0”), MEN’S Pole Vault 3.05m (10’) with each height increasing by 15cm.
                               WOMEN’S High Jump 1.30m (4’3”), MEN’S High Jump 1.66 m (5’5.25”) with each height increasing by 5cm.
 
POLE VAULT & HIGH JUMP: MEN’S HIGH JUMP WILL GO FIRST FOLLOWED BY THE WOMEN. THE WOMEN’S POLE VAULT WILL BEGIN EITHER 30 MINUTES FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE HIGH JUMP OR 1:00 PM WHICHEVER IS LATER. WE WILL BE VAULTING IN TWO PITS SIMULTANEOUSLY. MEN’S VAULT IN BOTH PITS WILL FOLLOW THE CONCLUSION OF THE WOMEN.
 
Weight-ins: These will take place from 7:30-Noon Saturday. They will take place at the northwest corner of the track at the track shed. If you are at Point Loma on Friday we would request that you leave your implements then and we will weight them all in on Friday night.
 
THE HAMMER THROW: The hammer event will be thrown on the lower field just west of the track.  This facility has been used as our practice area. The left sector line goes a full distance but has cliff immediately to its left.  Therefore, any left sector foul will most likely go over that cliff. The right sector line runs about 80’ before it ends into a hillside.  Being that throws can’t easily be measured from up on the hillside, if a throw is deemed to be within the sector but lands in the hillside, the competitor will receive another throw. I want all throwers and throws coaches to know that this will not be an “ideal” situation, especially for throws longer than 200’. The only other option is to NOT hold a hammer competition.
 
ENTRIES: Due at direct athletics www.directathletics.com ON OR BEFORE WEDNESDAY MARCH 15, 2023 AT 5 PM PST. We ask that you don’t turn in marks which you “believe” an athlete can attain. Please use actual marks from the 2022 or 2023 seasons.
 
TEAM CAMP AREAS: The baseball outfield will be the team area to set up your tents and canopies, if you are planning on using a ground tarp DO NOT put them on the grass but rather use the outfield warning track or the dirt infield area to lay down your ground tarps. We will offer to supply, set up and tear down 10’ x 10’ canopies for teams at an additional charge of $25 each just let me know by Wednesday March 15 how many you would like and they will be set up on the baseball field when you arrive.  Do not set up between the west edge of the track and the cliff that drops off toward the ocean (no team tents in this area this is a change from past years). WE DON’T WANT ANY TEAMS COLLECTING IN THE INFIELD! PLEASE KEEP ALL ATHLETES AND COACHES OUT OF THE FLAGGED OFF AREA BETWEEN THE TRACK AND THE INFIELD ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF THE TRACK (THE STRAIGHTAWAY FOR THE SPRINTS AND HURDLES.)
 
FACILITY: 8 LANE POLYURETHENE TRACK. ENTRANCES TO THE TRACK WILL ONLY TAKE PLACE THROUGH THE GATE AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE TRACK ALL OTHER GATES WILL BE CLOSED. I ask that you please convey this information to your coaching staff, athletes and spectators as your assistance in this area is greatly appreciated.
 
SPIKE LENGTHS: Spike sizes for the RUNNING EVENTS up to ¼”; JAVELIN & HIGH JUMP up to 3/8”; LONG / TRIPLE JUMPS & POLE VAULT up to ¼”.
 
RUNNING / TIMING & FIELD RESULTS: All running events will be handled professionally by Finished Results. This will include a LED scoreboard display showing results as quickly as possible following each event. The timing area is located on the outside of the track (THIS AREA WILL BE OFF LIMITS TO ALL ATHLETES AND COACHES)! All requests should come through me and I will deal with the timing officials for you. We will also have the South side of the infield of the track flagged off to keep athletes, spectators and coaches away from the finish line and the track. All measurements will be done in the metric system as per NCAA rules.
