AGE MANAGERS
Age Managers organise and finalise the teams to compete at each Championship for their allotted age group. They are responsible for the management of athletes on competition days and are the point of contact for athletes and their parents for queries or problems with the conduct of events.
Age Managers help select athletes to compete at Championships. They also notify athletes of their selection and arrange substitutions if a selected athlete is unavailable. They are able to assist athletes in choosing their events where they qualify for more events than the number in which they are allowed to compete.
STATE RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS
This Championship is for U8-U17 athletes and is generally held over two days in the middle of November, with
a wide range of events. Events for younger athletes (U8-U11) will be held on the Saturday, and those for older athletes (U12-U17) on the Sunday. Full details, including the program of events, will be published in our newsletter and on our website when available. We are not advised of the starting times for individual events, but may be given some block timing. Parking may be some distance from the track so parents should allow plenty of time to park and get to the stadium.
Under the rules of this competition, Ku-ring-gai may contest the following relays:

The Centre will try to ensure the maximum number of athletes are given the opportunity to compete at State level, but will also try to ensure that our athletes have the best chance of doing well in each event entered.
KLAC representatives are selected for the Relays based on the relay selection criteria on apage 21.
Baton changing practice is compulsory for all athletes selected in track relays. This is both to teach baton changing technique and to decide running order. Athletes who do not attend these sessions will forfeit their selection.
Gold, silver and bronze medals are presented to the first three placegetters, and all reserves who attend the meeting receive equivalent medals. All finalists receive certificates and all participants receive a track suit patch.
