Competition Bibs will be available at the Clerk's table located in the ADT Events Center (velodrome) upon check-in for your event. Two bibs must be worn during competition (vaulters and high jumpers may choose to wear a single bib on either the front or the back). Bibs printed with numbers are to be worn on the back of the uniform. Bibs printed with the competitor's name must be worn on the front. Bibs may not be folded or altered in any manner.

Warm-up

Warm-up will take place in the ADT Event Center (velodrome) and on Field #7 (FieldTurf) directly opposite the ADT Event Center.

On the floor of the ADT Event Center, a 50-60 m Mondo straightaway will be provided, with starting blocks and hurdles available. Athletes may also warm up around the velodrome concourse, but be warned that this area will be crowded.
