Dead End Meet 2022

The Dead End Meet at Knoxville West HS is an All-Comers Meet, serving as the last opportunity for teams to qualify for Sectionals. Although the main purpose is to help qualify, it can be used as a last chance for athletes to compete who know their season is ending without a Sectional mark. If you still have room on your schedule and could use a last chance meet, we'd love to have you out there. Medals will be awarded to Top 3 finishers in each event; Freshmen sections also award Top 3. Coaches, officials, and volunteers will be fed lunch by Dead End BBQ. Concessions will be available to spectators. $5 gate fee for spectators.

***Seniors from all teams will be recognized with a senior lap at 11:30am and parting gift. (optional participation).*** Coaches, your entries will be used to gather all senior names for this event.

*POLE VAULT COMPETITION NOW ADDED!* Pole vault will take place on Friday, May 5 @ Farragut High School. Competition will be Girls first at 5:30pm with Boys to follow.

Absolutely no pets allowed inside track meet!

Entry Fees: $75 per team (Girls and Boys are separate teams). $15 per individual athlete

Meet Info: Athletes are limited to 4 events only. All field events are 4 attempts. West HS Track requires spectator awareness to stay safe and not interfere with track meet. Please follow all signs and do no cross rope or tape. Paths around facility will be clearly marked as well as tent areas (no seating or tent setup in areas between the track and white paint lines; needs to be open for foot traffic). Tents can be put at top of stands on both sides except for in front of press box. Check in and staging area will be on the infield. Athletes will need to be back at check-in area 10 minutes before event, when official will take them to start. Field event athletes will check-in at their venue 30 minutes prior to start.

Warm-ups will be allowed on infield and backside of track when not in use (particularly when Discus is happening), but please do not set up camp with your team in the infield. Athletes must have a Milesplit time for seeding in fast heat.

Event check-in will be at tent on football field. Although calls will be made to help with meet flow, athletes may begin checking in at 30 minutes prior to start time of their event.

*Final Schedule will be adjusted after seeding if Necessary

MEET SCHEDULE IS CURRENTLY TENTATIVE! COACHES TO BE EMAILED FINAL SCHEDULE.

NOTE ABOUT MEET SCHEDULE TIMES: If there is to be a change in meet time, it will be on the side of more versus less time. The biggest goal for most athletes at a Last Chance Meet is to qualify for Sectionals. We would rather have 5 minutes of down time versus pushing the meet too fast. This way, everyone can adequately prepare and warm-up for each event knowing the time the event will start. Also, a little extra rest can help the athletes doing multiple events. Meet schedule times are currently set to be able to expand if needed.
