Dartmouth Track and Field and the Ivy League are looking for volunteer Marshalls for the Ivy League Heptagonal* Indoor Track & Field Championships February 25th and 26th.  They are asking for 5 marshalls for each session and Dartmouth athletics will fill in any spots that do not have volunteers.  We have had several UVRC members that have volunteered in the last few years for various tasks and Dartmouth athletics wants to use us as their first choice for Marshalls for this important event.

Marshalls generally do crowd control at track events and there will likely be a few hundred athletes and spectators at Leverone for most of the weekend. There may be other minor duties as needed. There will also be perks!  We have gotten food this year at every volunteer opportunity (chips, drinks and sandwiches), preferred parking next to Leverone, and for the "Heps" Championship there will be shirts to wear (and keep).  It will also be a very exciting event.

As I have been asked to be an Umpire for the meet I will not be able to be a Marshall so we are hoping that we can have a head Marshall as well for Saturday or Sunday (we may have one for Sunday but not sure right now).  Let me know if you are interested in that as well--it is a fairly simple job but important.

At the bottom of this email is a link to a Google doc to sign up for 3 or 4 hour shifts for that weekend. There are 4 sessions--2 each on Saturday and Sunday.  Feel free to sign for more than one session or sign up as a group!  Thank you!

*The Ivy League running championships in track and field as well as cross country are called "Heptagonal" as they originally had seven schools (no Brown I think) before the Ivy League was formed.  They kept the name despite having 8 schools for men and women once the Ivy League was created.  This confused me so I am including this note in case in confused any of you.
