• There will be no credential allocation limits. Credentials will be issued only upon verification of all listed criteria/mandates. There will be no exceptions.

• Pole Vault access credentials will be provided upon verification of athlete entry and date/time of the event. Date/time will be clearly noted on the credential and access expires immediately upon completion of that event.

Coaches, Parents, Guardians (18+):

Please be advised that all 2022 JOTF athletes ages 10 & Under will be required to report to the Athlete Reunification Area at the conclusion of all events that they compete in. It is the responsibility of the designated coach, parent, or other guardian (18+) to pick the athletes up from the Reunification Area.
 
The following protocol has been established for the release of the athletes from the Reunification Area at the 2022 USATF National JOTF Championships at Sacramento State University:

• 10 & Under athletes will be required to wear the purple wristband that corresponds with their assigned bib number. This wristband must be PERMANENTLY affixed to the designated athlete’s arm during the duration of their competition. Replacement bibs and/or wristbands will cost $10.00.
• Designated parents, coaches, and guardians (18+) will be required to wear the corresponding purple wristband PERMANENTLY affixed to their arm. Failure to have the wristband PERMANENTLY affixed will result in not being allowed to remove the athlete(s) from the Reunification Area. There will be no exceptions.

USATF is committed to the safety and welfare of all our athletes and request that you respect and understand the necessity of these safe-guard measures.
