Absolutely no late entries will be accepted in championship events. Coaches who miss the early entry deadline are encouraged to enter their athletes in the open 100 or open 800 to be held at the beginning of the meet.
A school may submit as many individual entries as desired, but may only enter one relay team per event.
Seed times and distances will be automatically generated by the athletes or relay teams top marks during the 2019 outdoor season.
Marks will not be corrected after entry deadline (2:00 pm on Sunday, May 3). Coaches are encouraged to monitor season bests on KYTrackXC.com to ensure that accurate marks for their athletes are listed.
No hand times will be considered in the 100 dash, 100/110 hurdles, or 200 dash. Mile times may be used for qualifying in the 1600 meters. Times will be converted by meet management.
A total of 16 athletes and relay teams will be accepted in each event - except the pole vault, where all competitors will be accepted, and the 4x400, where only 8 teams will be accepted.
An accepted entries list will be emailed to coaches on Sunday night. All scratches must be emailed to Coach Ames by Monday at noon. At this time, athletes on the waiting list will be moved up and final heat sheets will be emailed to coaches. No additional changes will be made.
OPEN 100 METER DASH and 800 METER RUN: There will be an open 100 meter dash and an open 800 meter run available to athletes who are not admitted into a championship event. There are no entry standards. Unlimited entries are allowed. Enter athletes as if they are running the championship events. They will be automatically moved to the open if they do not qualify. Athletes not admitted into distance events (800/1600/3200) will be automatically entered into the open 800. Athletes not admitted into sprint, hurdle, and jumping events will be automatically entered in the open 100.
3200 METER RUN: The 3200 meter run will be contested on Saturday, May 2 in conjunction with the Run for the Roses 3200. The championship heats (for the top 16 entries) will be contested first, followed by open, mixed gender heats. There is no entry limit or time standard for the open 3200.
FROSH/SOPH 4x400 RELAY: Open to all freshmen and sophomores, including those competing in championship events. Contested between the 200 meter dash and the championship 4x400 relay.
