I'm a high school junior and have never run both events in one meet. Any tips would be appreciated!

Act as if you’re only running whichever event comes first as you’re only event at the meet. Put absolutely everything into it and run a fast time. Then run a half mile warm up before the second event, a couple strides, and some dynamic stretching. Just do what you can with whatever you have left.
It also depends on time, I’ve tan meets where I had about 1-2 hours between the 1600 and 3200 (only did it twice in my career)
On the flip side I’ve had times where I’ve done another double 1600 and 800 that I had to pull out from since I was still puking from the 1600 when they called it (55m between it)
But no matter how long just stay loose and don’t think about the second one much until you’re getting ready again
Do your typical warm up for first event. After first event do 5 min cooldown. Get some food and water. Chill out on the turf and stay off your legs. 45-30 minutes out from second race do another 5 minute warm up.
Ooof haha.
Great advice, thanks everyone
