NEW in 2016: We are thrilled to announce that Milesplit will be live streaming this year's meet, complete with commentary and analysis. We couldn't be happier about this development and feel like it's the next step in making Dogwood one of the best meets on the East Coast.
Timing: After doing such an excellent job the last two years, we are excited to announce that all events will once again be FAT timed by Flash Results, the preeminent timing company in the country that annually handles the NCAA and USATF championship meets. In addition to providing live online results throughout the meet, Flash Results also provides two large scoreboards at the start/finish line that will display start lists, a running time clock, wind readings and instant event results. Since we will also have cameras at the 100 meter start line, we will have the ability to run the 100 meter & the 100/110 high hurdles backwards depending on the wind direction.
Flash Results also gives exact FAT relay splits, as well as 400m splits for all the distance races. To check out the full extent of their abilities, check out last year's results.

Sanction: Meet will be sanctioned by the state association VHSL as well as for North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut & Massachusetts (with others to be added potentially). Meet will not be sanctioned for Maryland public schools as we want to allow category 3 private schools from Virginia to compete in the meet. Maryland private schools can compete though.
If you are from a state not listed above, please email us to discuss sanctioning.
Online Entry System: Meet entries will be done online through MileSplit registration system. Coaches need to claim themselves as team admins on their team pages on the MileSplit network in order to have access to do their entries. All entries must be done online. No exceptions.
Entry Deadline: Entries will close online at Midnight on Sunday, May 1st. Deadline also applies to wildcards as well as double entries.
Eighth Graders: Since the meet is sanctioned by the VHSL, only athletes in grades 9-12 will be allowed to compete. No exceptions!
Entry Limits: Teams can enter two individuals per event and one team per relay event. Each team will also be allowed two "wild card" entries per gender (so four total) where they can enter a third person in any event with no minimum standard. The wild card entries should be emailed to DogwoodTrackClassic@gmail.com
Double Entry Option:
Teams also have the option of paying more money to "double enter" the meet with the option of up to four individuals per event. The only requirement is that all four individuals must have hit the below minimum standards (posted below). If there are events where only three individuals have hit the standard, then that is okay too. Teams that opt for this option will not get the two wildcard entries.
If you are interested in this double entry option, please email us at DogwoodTrackClassic@gmail.com
Teams that pay the regular fee still receive the two wildcard entries, and do not have to hit the minimum standards for double entry. We do ask to keep in mind the "suggested entry guidelines" when entering your two athletes.

Regular Entries (2 per event with 2 wildcards)
$125 per single gender team (7 or more athletes)
$225 per combined boys and girls teams
