Backpacks

All accepted athletes will receive a custom, high quality Under Armour backpack.

Athletes accepted after the event cap has been reached, with meet management approval, will not receive a backpack.

IMPORTANT: To receive your backpack, you must tear off and present the bottom slip from your competition bib. Coaches and parents, please note this is the only way to claim a backpack. TF Meet Management is not responsible for lost bib slips. Please plan accordingly.

Pacing Lights

IMG Academy is home to the first permanent WaveLight pacing system installed on U.S. soil and will offer this technology for select running events at the meet.

Pacing lights will be used in all final races of 800 meters and longer. Pace targets will be determined by meet management and may reflect U.S. number one performances, national records, youth world records, or other elite benchmarks.

Pacing lights may also be used in preliminary rounds of the 400 meters and longer to visually indicate qualifying cut lines for advancement.

Coaches with athletes pursuing record level performances may submit pacing requests by emailing [email protected]. While not all requests can be accommodated, meet management will make every effort to support personal best and record chasing opportunities.

Running Events

All running events will follow this progression:

1. Head to the warm-up field for general warm up. It is located behind the main scoreboard.

4. As your race approaches, about 15 minutes before the gun, your event and heat will be called over the warm-up field loudspeakers. Report to the staging tent, which is labeled with a large white flag. Arrive race ready. Inside the tent, officials will group your heat and water will be available.
5. From the staging tent, meet staff will walk you and your heat to designated staging areas around the oval. The start line location will vary based on the event and wind conditions.
6. After your race, all athletes will be directed off the field to the Therabody Recovery Zone on the northeast side of the facility. This is an athlete only area for recovery, hydration, rest, and ice baths.
7. After exiting the Therabody Recovery Zone, you will arrive at the awards area. If you placed in the top 8 of your event final, please remain for your award ceremony.
