Meet Information
TEAMS:
Welcome and thank you for being a part of the 2023 H-F Girls Track & Field ABC Showcase. .The ABC format allows each team to enter one athlete per event at each level. This year, each team will also have "B" group relays. Lunch will be provided for coaches and meal tickets will be in each meet packet. We are asking all teams to provide one adult worker to run field events. Custom team awards will go to the top 3 teams and medals to the top 3 places in each event. Each athlete will go through a spike check prior to entering the fieldhouse and spikes will be tagged with a small zip-tie once approved. If an athlete reports to check-in without an approved pair of shoes, they may be scratched from the event.
