We respectfully ask that all media limit their use to Box 401 and refrain from occupying other areas on the 400 level, as these spaces are reserved for event staff who are essential to the logistics and successful operation of the meet. In addition, the Howard Wood Dakota Relays Board of Directors kindly requests that media not access Level 500, as it is reserved exclusively for Board of Directors members and VIP guests.
