*Divisions - For varsity high school races, two divisions will be used; large and small based upon school enrollment figures. If a school has 220 or less students in grades 9-11 for the given sex, they are considered small school. Schools with 221 or more are large schools. The large school race will be the more competitive race but small schools may enter that division if they wish to compete in the more competitive race. Large schools may not choose to run the small school race, however.

·         Chip timing will be used with a chip that is attached to the runner's shoe.  There will be a bullpen area at the finish of the race where water will be available and chips will be collected.  If coaches have runners that do not run or do not finish the race, they must turn in the chips for those athletes at the registration area.  Schools will be charged $10 for each missing chip. 

·         Digital Clocks will be available at the 1 and 2 mile marks for each race.

·         Results will be available at baumspage.com

·         Concessions and other vendors will be available beneath the grandstands.

·         Legends Meet T-shirts will be sold at the registration area.

·         Restrooms are available under the grandstands and in adjacent buildings.

·         Parking - There will be a $5 parking fee per non-team vehicle that will be charged in accordance with fairground policy.

·         Coaches are asked to please cooperate in advance by:

o    Submitting rosters online at baumspage.com by the midnight deadline on the Sunday before the meet.

o    Ensuring correct chips are securely placed on runners shoes.

o    Returning all chips to the stage after the race.
