Location
The address to Clarkston High School is:
6093 Flemings Lake Rd, Clarkston, MI 48346
Parking
There are multiple lots to use around Clarkston High School. Allow yourself time to park and walk to the stadium. See the map for locations of each lot.
- Lot A which is closest to the stadium has VERY limited parking and fills up quickly.
- Lot B has limited parking until dismissal of students and busses at 3:00pm. The lot is also temporarily closed from about 2pm to 3pm during the dismissal process.
- Parking Tip: Lots E & F seem far but have close access if you use the back sidewalk to the back gate instead of going all away around to the front. Bonus, even with this tip online, lots E & F rarely fill up.
The driveway behind the school is closed to all traffic except officials and meet workers only. There is no parking behind the school. All the main and overflow lots can be accessed from the front via Flemings Lake Road. Rule of thumb, if you are parking on grass or on the side of a driveway or road, you are parked illegally. Please use actual parking spaces. We have ample space in the lots located around the school. The sheriff department will be monitoring to make sure emergency vehicles have access. Those parked illegally may be ticketed and/or towed.
Admission
Admission to the meet is $6 electronic payment or $5 cash per person for both students and adults. School or league passes are not accepted. Current MHSAA Media Passes (must present) are accepted. QR code for electronic payment will be available at both admission gates.
Viewing
You may use the home stands or the visitor stands to view the meet. The home stands are near the finish line and usually fill up first. Restrooms are located at the top of the stairs inside the building. There are restricted areas to avoid. Inside the track and roped off areas near field events are for athletes only. Entering a restricted area may result in the disqualification of your athlete.
Tents or canopies of any kind are not allowed in the stands. You may use a personal umbrella. Please be respectful to those around you also trying to view the action on the track.
Souvenir T-shirts
Souvenir t-shirts are available for sale near the main front gate. Cost is $22 electronic payment or $20 cash. QR code for electronic payment will be available at the meet. Adult sizing (small, medium, large, x-large). Shirts are sold starting at 1:00pm and are first come first serve. No presales.
Awards
In each event, the top 8 athletes earn medals. Awards are announced and handed out between events on the 50 yard line facing the home stands. Look for the awards podium. Top 3 girls and top 3 boys teams will receive trophies at the end of the meet. You can follow the results during the meet at: ocmstrackmeet.com/live
Spikes
You may have been convinced by your athlete to purchase racing shoes (otherwise known as spikes because they come with spikes). Be aware that some racing shoes come with longer spikes (like cross country) depending on the shoe/brand. Only 1/4 inch pyramid spikes or shorter are allowed. If an athlete has spikes longer than 1/4 inch, they will be disqualified from their event.
