Entry deadline
Online entries should be received by Monday April 20th, 2015. Any entries received after the deadline will be charged an additional $25 fee. All athletes (including relay legs) are assigned a unique competitor number. There will be a $5 fee for athletes that lose their bib numbers or that are not included in the entries and need to be assigned a competitor number/bib on meet day.

Entry Standards
All entries must be submitted electronically using the entry portal at http://easternrelays.milesplit.com. It is important that valid results for your team are included on the milesplit database. If any of your meets are not included in the milesplit database please send results to kytrackxc@gmail.com. Teams may enter all athletes who meet the entry marks, and all may score.
Coaches may enter any athletes who have a verifiable PR in the milesplit database that meets the qualifying standard. 2015 is the first year we will use PRs, not seasonal bests for entry and seeding. Those not meeting the mark will not be allowed to compete. Open running events are open to all performers, no qualifying standards. Open field events do have an entry standard. All participating teams may enter one relay in each Saturday relay event. We may limit entries in the Friday relays to 1 or 2 sections if the schedule dictates.
