THE MORRISON FAMILY AWARD. In February of 2018, long-time Cornhusker State Games Track and Field Director Steve Morrison passed away. He was instrumental in building the meet to what it is today with a strong emphasis on family involvement. Before his passing, he had a vision to add a Family Relay Race (4×100) to the event list for 2018. The Family Relay Race can include any age and any gender. It is an exhibition event. This relay does not count toward each athlete’s maximum event count. Every relay member must be a family member and be registered in the system for at least one event. The event can be the Family Relay Race only. All registered athletes are eligible. All participants in the Family Relay Race will receive a commemorative medal. In addition, the overall fastest relay team will win MORRISON FAMILY AWARD BATON.

The schedule of events in the Complete Event Details is an approximate time based upon participation registered numbers. A FINAL schedule and heat sheet will be posted and emailed to participants the week of competition by Wednesday, July 10th.  Please check the Website before calling the Sport Director.

NOTE: The meet can run up to 15 minutes ahead of schedule, so please plan to be there at least an HOUR before your race.

The Cornhusker State Games Track & Field Meet runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The meet is usually hot, and recruiting volunteers for three sessions is very difficult. So, to enjoy the meet more and make it more entertaining for participants and spectators, please note our updated time format for 2024.

Due to the historically small number of competitors entered in the hurdle events, as well as the time, effort, and other resources spent on contesting the hurdle events, meet directors may use their discretion to remove hurdle events from this meet in future years.

Rules

NOTE: During session 1, track events may run up to 30 minutes ahead of schedule. Session 2 track events are set to start at 1 p.m. and will be a rolling schedule; therefore, times are approximate only. 

MAX EVENTS: A maximum of four (4) events per participant. Participants who register for more than the maximum allowed will be subject to disqualification in the event(s) that takes them over the maximum.

100 METER DASH: The 100 Meter Dash will be a final only for all youth and master divisions. Fully automatic timing will be used, so there is no need for a preliminary. However, meet directors would like to get the best runners in the fastest section. Please enter a legitimate 100 Meter seed time during registration.

FIELD EVENTS:

Track events take priority over field events. Athletes who need to check in for a track event must let the field event judge know. Athletes have until last call to check into the running events, and should make arrangements to jump early or late. COMMUNICATION IS THE BEST.

Javelin will be contested at the Lincoln High baseball field. 

Participants can provide their own shot and discus but the Cornhusker State Games will have them available on-site for those who do not bring their own. May be subject to weights and measures.

You may use your implement if approved by weights and measures. Once approved, your implement must be part of a pool of implements that may be used by all athletes.

Three throws and three jumps. No finals.

RELAYS:

4×100 Relays are split into four divisions. Women 49 & Under, Women 50 & Over, Male 49 & Under, and Male 50 Over. All four runners must meet the age requirements in the Male and Female divisions. The relay counts as one event.

Relay Online Registration Note: If registering for a relay event online, runners must register as an individual, not a team. The participant will be asked to list the names of the other runners on the relay team. This DOES NOT register the other runners for the event, it simply lets the sport director know who is on each relay team. Each relay member must register themselves for the event.

BIB NUMBERS–Bib Numbers are no longer used in the event. When you arrive you go directly to your field event site if that is first or proceed to Hip Number tent to pick up a hip number for your first racing event. Please allow 45 minutes to an hour to warm-up and get your hip number. The hip number tent will be in the Southeast corner of the track. No event registration at the meet is allowed and no packet pickup will be allowed at the meet.
