Field Events will start at 3:30 pm and Running Events will start at 4:15 pm.
Throwing Situation
Due to some construction issues our shotput and discus rings WILL NOT be ready in time for the meet. However, we will STILL BE able to hold throwing events. Thankfully the old SPS track at Southwest Junior High has two shot put and two discus rings available for us to use. SW is 1.5 miles from Springdale High. All throwing athletes will need to be dropped off at SW rather than SHS. There will be a shuttle bus that will bring athletes back to SHS starting at 3:45 pm. All athletes that will need to get back to the track for running events and field events will be allowed to throw first while at SW. Since we will have four rings going, all throws should be finished by 5 pm.
Southwest Junior High, 1807 Princeton Ave., Springdale, AR 72762
