Club Northwest would like to welcome you to the
26TH ANNUAL
SPRING BREAK OPEN
TRACK & FIELD MEET
Featuring the Dan Ghormley Memorial 1500-meter Runs,
the Bev LaVeck Memorial Race Walks, and the Jeremy Scully Memorial Pole Vault
Saturday, March 28, 2015 • 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Historic West Seattle Stadium • Seattle, Washington
Co-hosted by Western Washington University
The Spring Break Open Track & Field Meet has been a fixture on the Seattle late-March track & field scene since 1989, when
it debuted at West Seattle Stadium. It has been held at Shoreline, Edmonds, and Kings, and – for 2011 only – helped celebrate the final year of track & field at historic Husky Stadium.
Again in 2015, we will provide electronic timing. Our entries are being handled on-line ONLY. Limited day-of-meet entries
will be taken ONLY in events where a new entry will NOT cause a new section of the event to be required.
ENTRY PROCEDURES
All team entries are due by Tuesday, March 24, at directathletics.com, allowing us to use the TFRRS system. There will
be NO entry via snail-mail, and we hope to limit e-mail entries to those having problems with on-line entry.
Minimum donations for teams and individuals will be collected as you enter. Athletes arriving before the team payment will be expected to make their own donation.
As in recent years, there will be a limited number of entry
slots open on meet day, ONLY in those events where we can
run more entrants without creating additional heats. Since
2012, a third of our events have been closed to day-of-meet
entries. IF YOU ARE PRE-ENTERED, we will accommodate you and create heats as necessary. IF YOU WAIT UNTIL MEET DAY, you may not get in your event(s).
ENTRY RESTRICTIONS
This meet was founded to support college teams who did
not have the resources to stage meets during their spring
break. This is billed as an OPEN meet, generally defined as
post-high school teens to late 30s. We will endeavor to accommodate all master’s athletes, but all variations of master’s hurdle races may not be possible. Where possible, we will hold separate master’s sections.
This meet is open only to athletes 18-years old or older, and to 17-year old athletes who are competing and
eligible for a college team. This includes club team
members!
VOLUNTEERS
We always need all the help we can get! Volunteers are
treated to food during the meet. Split shifts are often available for those who can’t work the entire meet.
ENTRY FEES
For teams to enter, the minimum donation per team per
gender will be $100, or $10 per individual and $12 per
relay team, whichever is less. All college and university teams are welcome, but club teams must be member
organizations of USATF or Athletics Canada in order to
be listed as an affiliation. Individuals will need to make
a minimum donation of $10 to register, plus $2 per individual event. No unattached relays will be permitted. Any entry slots available on meet day will subject
to a minimum donation of $15 per athlete plus $3 per
event. Funds collected support Club Northwest’s teams.
Register at: http://www.directathletics.com/meets/
track/, where you will need to log-in and find the meet.
ADMISSION
We ask for a nominal minimum admission donation
for all Club Northwest events – we put on a very nice
“show” and we think folks should be willing to pay for
it! Funds collected support Club Northwest’s teams.
WEIGH-IN
We hold weigh-in for all implements at the site beginning at 8 a.m., the location of which is generally at the storage unit near the hammer throw area.
PARKING!
If it’s a nice day, there will be issues with parking – sorry, we can’t help much! On a nice spring day, golfers
will flock to the adjacent West Seattle Golf Course, and
most available parking in the main lot will be gone by ten a.m.
There is a dirt lot just to the south of the entry which is the
secondary parking, but it may not be opened for the spring
yet. Please make sure you park legally wherever you end up!
For more information, call or write Becca Peter at 206-334-0767 or [email protected]

REMEMBER – VERY LIMITED DAY-OF-MEET ENTRIES!
This meet has grown too large for that!

We will attempt to make first, second, and final calls for each track event, and first and final calls for field events. Athletes
may begin to check in earlier for their events, so long as they go back and scratch if they change their mind!
• First call means athletes can report to the clerk for assignment or to the field event area for warmup.
• Second call is the last chance to check in for a track event before the event begins – you must check in by this time!
• Final call is when we put athletes at the start or beginning the field event – it is too late to check in at this point!
