Registration
Registration is open now and runs through Sunday before the event on this link - Milesplit Meet Info
Only coaches may register athletes! All athletes that are below the time standards can be entered any time up until the deadline. This is a regular WIAA event and after registration closes, invitations are sent to any teams that have entered and been approved the week of the event. Anyone who has a parent or athlete register will NOT be accepted. You may enter and edit athlete entries from February 1st through Sunday, April 21st at midnight. All entries need to be in by this deadline so we can appropriately make race sections and the final time schedule. You can update times or races up until this day as well. Prior marks are best for entry, please reach out as needed for manual entries. Final heat and time information will be released the Monday prior to the event.
Meet Information
Below are the entry standards to register for the event. If an athlete has hit the standard previously, you may register them. Entries not meeting the time standard are subject to be declined. Not all entries meeting the standards are guaranteed, if entries exceed race limits we will take the top time entrants based on times run. This hasn't been an issue in previous years, but as the event grows be prepared to switch event or be declined entry if on the borderline of a mark. Reach out if anyone is 'close' or have shown recent fitness to meet standards to see if we have spots for them to race. The men's frosh 1600 will return again this year after a great debut. This will be seeded based on entries and we are looking for sub 5 entrants and a high level race again.
For any questions please contact the meet director, Coach Mach at MachXC@gmail.com
