State Athletics Setup – UWALAC
UWA Tent

- Our Championships officers over the weekend will be Sarah Hynes

- We will have an ice water station, sanitiser and sunscreen
Important Points to Remember
- There is marshalling before each event 20 minutes for track and 35 minutes for field.
- Announcers will not be calling athletes to marshal, so you need to keep notice of the time and make sure you get to the call room on time.
- If events are running behind time, an announcement will be made.
- If athletes from your event have left the Call room to compete, you have deemed to have missed the event.
- If you have an event clash-see a clash officer so they can marshall for you and alert the call room for you.
- Athletes are under the control of their parents for the States weekend.
- Coaches will be around some of the time, but it is up to you to get to marshalling on time.
- Leave enough time to park when returning and come back at least one hour before your scheduled event.
- Keep your mobiles on in case a race has to be re-run
Programs & Start Lists for States
The start lists for states will be posted on the Athletics Website. These are normally only posted a couple of days out and are subject to change.
Parent Roster
- If you are rostered on for a Parent Roster position, please sign in at the TIC which is located at the 100m Start Line end of the arena on the grassed area.
- For Track events please sign on 10 minutes prior to your Start Time so you can get a handover from the volunteer before you.
- For Field events please sign on 35 minutes prior to the Event Start Time so you can get a briefing from the Chief Judge at your site.
Uniforms
Please make sure your athlete is in full blue UWALAC uniform. Numbers should be sewn or well pinned in each corner, so they are easy to ready. Your child’s name and Centre (UWA) should be written in black marker pen. Age-Tags must be fixed on side that has the UWA logo and can go over the logo if need be. Please check the footwear rules. Skins can be black or blue. If unsure check here

National Progression
The Australian Little Athletics Championships will take place in Adelaide from the 26-28 April 2024. This is a team-based event for Little Athletics U13 athletes and athletes must nominate to be considered for the team. Little Athletics U13 members who have nominated will be considered for selection based on performances from either or both the WA State Championships (22-25 February) or the WA State Junior Championships (8-10 March). For the avoidance of doubt, athletes can choose to compete in either Championship, or both, and any results will be considered as part of the selection process. Athletes must be registered with the Little Athletics Program to be considered for selection.
This event is not a qualification event for the Australian Track & Field Championships, which will take place in Adelaide from 11-19 April 2024 as the WA State Junior Championships are conducted under Little Athletics Rules.
