Entries: Milestat
All entries will be done on Milestat. Please make sure you have all results from meets on Milestat. Any time or distance that I cannot verify will result in an NT for seeding purposes.

Entries must be completed by 5:00 pm on Thursday, February 9, 2017. After this time entries will be closed. If you are running on February 6 or 7 please make sure results have been posted on Milestat before you do your entries. If you enter prior to this time then you may have a non verified entry for the Region Meet.

Make sure you understand the declaration rule. For example; you may enter an athlete in the 55, 300, and 4x400, if you scratch the athlete from the 300 they may still run the 4x400 but you cannot add them to another event. If you are unsure please contact me. However, if you enter an athlete in 4 running events planning on scratching later that will not work and the athlete will be deleted from the last event entered.

Additional Information:
Pole Vault and High Jump No hard hair retainers are permitted
Field event Judges will ask if an athlete is participating in another event. Any adjustment will be made after this.
There is a 15 min excusal time for an athlete to check out for another event. The check back time will be recorded.
If there is a tie for a place for the finals in a race FAT will then go to thousands to break the tie.
No tape will be allowed on the track.
Coaches boxes will be provided for all field events. However an athlete may not cross the track to talk to a coach once running events have started. This will not be the same case at the state championship.
