41st Watauga Orthopaedics/Times News Relays

May 7-8, 2021

Crowe-Coughenour Track

Dobyns-Bennett High School

Kingsport, Tennessee

Beginning in 1976, Kingsport track enthusiast Rick Earnest and local coaches had a dream. They approached Times News Executive Sports Editor Ron Bliss with the idea of an "all-star" track meet putting the best talent from the region on display.

Only the top nine entries in each event from Northeast Tennessee will be eligible to compete. Southwest Virginia is not eligible to compete because of VHSL not sanctioning out-of-state competitions. 

There will be only one section/flight of every event.

Times must be FAT verifiable. No exceptions.

Brief coaches meeting will be at 4:15 p.m. on Friday and 9:15 a.m. on Saturday.

A checklist of the top nine qualifiers will be published in the print edition of the Kingsport Times News at least once a week and also online beginning in late March. The first three alternates will also be listed.

Medals will be given to the top 3 in every event in a brief awards ceremony following the conclusion of each event.

Plaques will be given to the "Most Outstanding" performer on the boys and girls side for both field and running events. A special ceremony will be held at the end of the meet to recognize those athletes.

**Coaches, if one of your athletes is on the alternates list, bring them to the meet. Chances are that one of the top nine entries will scratch and your athlete will have the opportunity to compete. We want to have as many full sections/flights as possible.**

ENTRY DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, MAY 5. SCRATCH DAY IS THURSDAY, MAY 6. NO EXCEPTIONS
