Notice to coaches

The weather at the end of August on race day has ranged from high heat in 2022, "cold" and damp in 2023, to sunny and breezy in 2024.  We have contingency plans in place to shorten races based on heat exposure criteria and direction from emergency services.

Even though the weather was not extreme last year, there were multiple hospital transports.  The event venue and local emergency services have asked us to ensure that all participants are as prepared as they can be for weather conditions which may be encountered during the event.  

Please make sure that you and your team are familiar with CIF heat illness preventation and heat acclimatization policies (see links below).  For reference, the event venue is on the border of WBGT Region 2 and Region 3.  Therefore, heat acclimatization is important particularly for schools coming from milder coastal areas.
