Note From Meet Director: Welcome to the 2023 J.M Hanks Norman Phillips Relays. This meet is being held in honor of Coach Norman "Daddy" Phillips who coached and mentored countless student-athletes and coaches in the Hanks Community starting in 1994 when he joined the Hanks staff as a retired coach after many successful years at Irvin High School. For those that didn't know him, he was always a fan of letting Track & Field athletes have fun and try new events and build a team community. We hope this meet allows you to build on your team dynamic and connections and have some fun getting started this season with some varied events and to allow a look at individual and team event marks with less stress on division placement.
Meet entries and setup: We are running ONE Division (Open) to allow all athletes to compete in this meet and each team will be able to enter up to TWO Relays per event. Athlete names must be entered into Runnercard under each Relay. Entry limits will remain the same for all athletes with a maximum of 5 events total with no more than 3 being running events. We will have a combined team score with boys, girls, and coed races all being tallied for your first team to finish in the total score. Please do not enter a time or distance mark. Seeding will be random.
Entries will be due on Runnercard by Wednesday, February 8, 2023, by 7:00 PM.
Running events will be made up of 4 individuals (4 Boys, 4 Girls, or Coed where specified) You will need to enter each team as A or B. (Example: Hanks Girls A or Hanks Girls B). Only your top-finishing team will score in the final point total.
Field Events will be made up of 3 individuals per team. Each athlete will get 4 jumps/throws, with the exception of HJ/PV which will be run traditionally. The best mark for each individual will be added together to make the team score. Individuals will only score under the team they are listed, either A or B. In the event of No Mark for one team member, the score will be added in as 0'0" to the team score but the team will still be added with the remaining two marks. If you have fewer than 3 individuals they can still jump/throw and we will score what is entered. Only your top-finishing team will score in the final point total. Athletes need to check in at least 15 minutes prior to the start time.
Races will be timed finals if more than one heat is necessary and will be run Girls followed by Boys with the exception of the Coed Races. The attached schedule will have the breakdown of each race and we will also be sending a quick entry sheet to help you organize your athletes if you would like to use it. Good luck to everyone this track season.
