Conduct of the Meet
You may enter 3 athletes per event and 1 relay team. Athletes can participate in unlimited field events. Runners can participate in 3 running events unless one of them is the 3200. 3200 meter runners may only compete in one additional event. There will be no trials in running events, so all running events are finals. We will be on a rolling schedule so we will not slow the meet down or speed it up so that everyone can return home safely. 1600m relay will be run with a two turn stagger.

Shortly after closing entries, the Performance List of entries will be posted on Milestat. Coaches are asked to check entries for accuracy. SCRATCHES WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL 8:00 PM THURSDAY, MAY 7TH.
