***A few more notes on rules and procedures for the SCVAL Qualifier Meet***
>>>All athletes must check in 30 min. prior to the start of their event. This year, we will have alternates. Alternates should also check-in and meet at the check-in table 5 min. before race time in case a lane opens up. Alternates for the field events should check with the field event official prior to the start of the event to see if there is an opening.
>>>Athletes must stay off the field due to the the discus competition. A warm up field is located south of the track and should be used for warm ups. Athletes should report approximately 5-10 min. prior to their event at the starting line. No spectators and coaches on the field (hurdle crew exempt!).
>>>Jewelry rule and uniform rule will be enforced.
>>>All electronics should be off the infield.

Twenty Monta Vista athletes have moved on to the SCVAL Qualifier meet this coming Friday night, under the lights at Santa Clara high school! Great job by all of you and good luck! The top 6 finishers in every event move on to the Central Coast Section championships.
All the qualifiers are listed below…if you want to check times (or just see if I missed anyone) and see all the qualifers, go to http://archive.dyestatcal.com/ATHLETICS/TRACK/2012/qualres.htm
The meet is starts at 4:00 and ends under the lights! A complete schedule is attached as a download below.
Open Mile
It is traditional for everyone interested to run in an ‘open mile’ at the close of the meet; athletes, coaches, parents, middle school brothers and sisters, anyone who would like to can toe the line and run or job a mile to celebrate the end of another season. It’s a gas! Think about joining in.
Looking for Volunteers!
Once again, Monta Vista is running the hurdles at the SCVAL Qualifier meet. We need 10 diligent and enthusiastic volunteers to set up, move, set up again and then put away the hurdles at the end of the meet. The perks are:
>>>Free Entry To The Meet: Otherwise you need to pay to get in to watch.
>>>Access to the Infield: Only competitors are allowed on the field during the SCVAL Qualifier Meet. Unlike other races where we can sit wherever we want and wander all we care to, at SCVAL if you are not competing you have to stay in the grandstands–EXCEPT for the hurdle crew, we get to have the best seats in the house and cheer our teammates all we want while everyone else has to stay in the grandstands! We get the best seat in the house.
If you would like to volunteer, please see Coach Flatow at practice. 10 volunteers are needed to help out!
Congratulations to all of the Monta Vista qualifiers!
