RULES FOR ATHLETES Athletes will remove their mask moments before the race begins and will put their mask on after finishing. We will have mask available for anyone who loses their mask during their race. The timing equipment that will be used will allow the athletes to not need to stop and stand near each other upon finishing. Athletes and spectators from the first dual meet will be asked to leave the starting line/finish area upon the conclusion of their races so that the next dual meet teams may use the area. Team tents will be as far away from the starting line area as possible. We will use a PA system to make any relevant announcements.
