E. If athletes are submitted to the State Meet in multiple events without the knowledge of whether they would be accepted in any of those events AND with the possibility that they could be accepted in all of the events, the coach must submit an email to Jim Fischer (fischline70@gmail.com) and John Amery (jamerusp@aol.com) stating which events they would accept in the event that they are accepted in some or all the events. e.g. An athlete is entered in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m, hoping to get into one of the events.
