May 10 Eagle Classic Schedule Change and General Reminder

Please note the following.

First, a schedule change for the May 10 Eagle Classic has been made: the boys 13-year old javelin has been moved to 10:30am to avoid conflicting in the afternoon with boys 13-year old shot put.

Second, in general not all meet organizers send out notices about changes to meet schedules. So please be in the habit of checking the website of the organizing club for schedule updates prior to the meet. Also please remember that events are allowed to run 30 minutes earlier than scheduled, but many times run late. You will want to arrive well in advance of the posted schedule time (to permit for early start, marshaling or registration, and warm-up). You will have to keep tabs on how events are being run throughout the day.
