To All Region 4 Parents/Athletes,

As you would all no doubt be aware, extremely hot conditions are predicted for this weekend in Wagga Wagga, particularly on Saturday.

The Little Athletics NSW Hot Weather Policy will be adhered to, and as a result the following modifications to the program for the Region 4 Championships have been made in advance of the carnival this weekend:

The carnival will still commence at 8am on both Saturday and Sunday, however the previously advised program times will no longer apply.
All track events will now be conducted as timed finals. This means that only heats will be conducted and the times recorded from the heats used to determine placegetters in each event. There will be no finals conducted.
In all field events (with the exception of high jump), athletes will have only 3 trials, with the top 8 athletes after the first 3 rounds having only 1 further trial.
Events will cease when the temperature/humidity reaches the cut-off point from the LANSW Heat Policy, and will resume again later in the day/evening IF the conditions fall back below the cut-off. Events may be conducted up until approximately 8.30pm on Saturday evening.
The 3000m events will be conducted when it is considered safe to do so. No particular time has been determined for these events at this stage.
Any events that are unable to be completed on Saturday will be moved to the Sunday program.
Weather dependant, there may be further changes made to competition procedure during the carnival if officials deem it is in best health interests of competitors and officials.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the staff at the Little Athletics NSW office on 02 9633 4511 or admin@lansw.com.au.

We thank everyone in advance for their understanding.

Kind regards,

LANSW / Region 4 Coordinator
