One Volunteer Results Keeper is responsible for starting the stop watch when the horn blows at the beginning of the race and reading times aloud to the Volunteer Recorder as each racer crosses the finish line. The other Volunteer Results Keeper is the Recorder, writing down on their clipboard results template, the times of each runner as they cross the finish line. The Volunteer Recorder does not need to record the race bib number or name, etc. All races are timed except the 50 Yard Dash/75 Yard Dash. All other volunteers are responsible for being in the finish line chute to ensure that racers stay in order from the time they cross the finish line until their race bibs are pulled off.
Note: The results keeper should help in the chute for the 50 and 75 Yard Dash as these races are not timed.
