REVISED TIMETABLE as at 15 FEB- EMR REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO REVISE THE TIMETABLE FOR THIS WEEKEND
The main problem was with the 60, 80 and 300
hurdles.
The main changes are the under 13 boys and girls 80H on Saturday have gone from
straight finals to heats and finals. This has only caused a slight change to
the timing of events on the front straight.
The change to the 300 hurdles means they are now all straight finals. This has
move the start time for the 60 hurdles on Sunday forward by 40 minutes to
11.00am and will have a flow on effect for all subsequent events, resulting in
the scheduled finish time for the day being 5.55pm.
