Other / It was determined that the field event guidelines need to be updated to include the Order of Events. (i.e. Women’s Shot Put 1st Men’s Shot Put 2nd)
Paul recommended that we recruit extra volunteers for the field events and inform the athletes that they need to help assist with the measuring. The captains need to reach out to their athletes to let them know. Tom will send an email to all the captains to encourage this message. Also, volunteers need to arrive earlier to receive their assignments.
If there are edits to the website that are NOT meet results related, changes should be emailed to Lisa.
Motion: Puddy motioned and Jim seconded to allow Emily access to the website, in addition to Lisa and Chuck, to help with the edits.
Vote: Unanimous 5-0
Due to the magnitude of this item, we will table until next meeting. It is clear that a process needs to be established for the posting of records.
