Eastern Indoors 2023

Purchase Advanced tickets to save time on entry

Unless the meet begins to run behind the schedule listed below we will not use a rolling schedule. We will plan to follow the schedule posted below.  Note the time for each event as well as the declaration time for each event.

Saturday Time Schedule

Coaches Passes/Access

All team-affiliated coaches will be given a coaches pass/armband. At packet pickup please report the number of official team coaches and you will be given that number of armbands.  Coaches bands will garner access to the backstretch and mezzanine area.  No coaches should be on the track surface or infield during the meet.  Please be respectful of meet officials, particularly in the clerking area and throwing area which can become very busy.

Unattached athletes, not entered as a part of a team, will not be given coaches passes and anyone chaperoning an unattached athlete should purchase a ticket.

Live Performance List- Our live results page includes the current performance list (reflecting all scratches processed so far).  Be aware it includes ALL athletes, both admitted athletes and alternates.

Live results, in most cases, will also include lap splits for all races over 1 lap.

Declaration Process / Spike Check / Assigning Sections

We will use the declaration method for clerking all of our running events this weekend.  This is a two-step process where athletes report with their competitor number to the declaration area in the room labeled declaration past the finish line to confirm that they are present and intend to run the event.  After declaring for the event, athletes can warm-up and should listen for further announcements.  Anyone not declared for an event when the declaration closes will be scratched from the event and cannot run.  Then, when called to return, athletes will return to the clerking area near the warm-up track and throws cage for their section and lane assignments.  Once called to the clerking area, athletes will remain in the area until their races.

Athletes need to be attentive to announcements and the general flow of the meet.  The meet schedule does indicate when the declaration period closes for each event. The declaration for an event will be 45 minutes before that event.  Multi-event athletes may have a parent, coach, or teammate help with the declaration process but they must know the athletes competitor number to report.

This process will help us create the most competitive races with no empty lanes.

Spike check will also take place during the declaration process in the declaration room.  When an athlete declares for their first event of the day they should present their spikes for examination (only pyramid spikes or shorter).

Sections/Heats will not be assigned until after the declaration process is completed.  Soon after declaration the sections will be posted on https://live.dcracetiming.com/ .  Athletes and coaches can project what section they will be in using the current performance list and the field sizes listed for each event (60m/60H- 8, 200/400/4x4- 6, 800/Mile/4x8- 12, 2 Mile- 16).

Event order- Fast Sections first

We will run our fastest section first in all running events.  There are no prelims/finals in running events, all events will be sections with results based on time.

The goal of Eastern Indoors is bringing together the best high school athletes from the Midwest and the Southeast (and anywhere else) to compete on one of the nations newest and fastest tracks at the Norton Sports and Learning Complex in Louisville, KY (https://www.nortonslc.com/).

Coaches should consider running all of our Eastern Premier events in 2023 with the Eastern Indoors on February 10-11, Eastern Relays on April 21-22, and the Louisville Cross Country Classic on September 29-30.

The meet will feature elite high school and middle school track and field action!  We are also thrilled to welcome professional athletes to Eastern Indoors.
