This schedule is SUBJECT TO CHANGE! You must check in during your session’s designated weigh in time only — no early check ins are permitted. If you would like to arrive early and check your weight before your designated weigh in time, that is fine, but official weigh ins begin during your session’s weigh in time.
*We will be holding an optional “technical meeting” on Friday, July 17th at 7:30pm. This meeting is open to all participating athletes and coaches and will cover topics such as meet procedures, official USAW rules and regulations, technical standards, etc. If this is your first meet or you are unfamiliar with how meets work, this is an excellent opportunity for you to learn before things get rolling.
