Parent Responsibilities

We will be allocated duties based on the number of athletes we enter in the championships. Parent s will be expected to assist for 1 to 2 hours each day their child is competing.

How it works

Athletes may nominate to compete in up to five events, providing they have met the qualifying criteria for all of them. Track events up to 400m are run with heats and finals, the long track events are run as straight finals.

Further instructions will be given to qualified athletes prior to the championships.
