**There are unlimited entries per school allowed in each event.

**We will run heats of 16 in the 800, 24 in the 1600 & a maximum of 2 heats in each of the boys/girls 3200.  We will try to run only one heat in the 4 x 800 (B & C teams may start 2 yards behind starting line to alleviate over-crowding).  If there are over 30 teams entered in the 4 x 800, then we will have 2 slower heats beginning at 8:30; girls then boys slow heats.

Coaches:  PLEASE be honest with your entry times.  Don’t embarrass your kids by putting in a time that they are not capable of running.  Heats will be seeded according to times entered.

Starting heights and minimum measurements—all first attempts will be measured.  The top 9 competitors will go to finals.
